Student Housing and Residence Life

Living & Learning Overlooking the Bay

Living at Cal State East Bay is much more than having your own student apartment, suite, or residence hall room located just a short walk from classes. It's about becoming part of a true living-learning community designed to help you thrive academically, personally, and socially.

It also means participating in stimulating educational, cultural, and social programs designed to help you integrate what you're learning with what you want to achieve - and where you want to go in life. You'll meet people from around the world, share ideas and experiences from the classroom and beyond - and make connections and friendships that will last a lifetime. And you have the choice of living in a spacious student apartment or a cozy dorm room.

Pioneer Heights on-campus student apartments and suites are spacious, attractive, and fully furnished. The apartments feature single or double bedroom accommodations, a kitchen, living and dining area, and one or two bathrooms. The freshmen suites feature double bedroom accommodations, a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave oven, a living and dining area, and two bathrooms.

High-speed Internet access is provided, and phone and cable service is available. Computing labs, as well as study, exercise, laundry, and recreation rooms with TV, ping-pong and billiard tables are among the amenities. Convenient meal plans (required for first-time freshmen living in Pioneer Heights; optional for other residential students) are available through the University Union, making it easy to save time and have sharing a meal with friends.
