CSUMB offers theme and identity-based residential communities that pair housing with a shared community focus.
What is a Living Learning Community at Cal State Monterey Bay?
Housing options include theme communities such as Lavender Living. These communities use the housing application/selection process and are subject to eligibility and available space.
What is the difference between an RA and the professional residence-hall staff?
CSUMB publishes on-duty RA/CA coverage after business hours and professional Student Housing and Residential Life contacts for administrative matters. Students should use the peer staff for immediate community support and escalate when the issue requires professional authority.
Who should my student contact first when something goes wrong in the dorm?
CSUMB has distinct support channels by problem type. RA/CA and RLC staff handle residential concerns, Housing Facilities receives work orders, and Student Housing and Residential Life manages housing/dining administration.
