Does housekeeping clean my student's bedroom?
The current move-in/living page clearly assigns personal living-space cleaning to residents while identifying public-area cleaning as a university service.
Is Wi-Fi included in residence halls?
CSUMB lists high-speed internet among residence-hall technology amenities. Students should use campus IT/Housing support for connection problems.
How does mail and package delivery work?
CSUMB tells residents not to send packages more than two weeks before classes and publishes mail/package guidance on the move-in/living page. Students should use the address format for their assigned housing.
