California State University, Monterey Bay: What is the true annual cost of living in a Cal State Monterey Bay residence hall?
DIRECT ANSWER
The actual annual cost depends on the assigned room and required meal plan; published 2026–27 semester room rates range widely by housing type.
Residence-hall room rates for 2026–27 are $5,694 single, $4,639 double and $3,944 triple/quad per semester, with a required meal plan. Other campus options have different rates and some do not require a meal plan, so parents should total the exact room plus dining charges for the student's assignment.
