California State University, Monterey Bay: Can student loans pay for on-campus housing?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes. Eligible education-loan funds can help cover housing costs within the student's cost of attendance.

CSUMB offers federal student loans through financial aid and includes on-campus housing/food in the 2026–27 cost-of-attendance budget. Loan eligibility and borrowing limits still control how much can be used.
