On-Campus Housing


The Halls

Living on campus can be an exciting and enriching part of your college experience. Whatever option you choose, you'll find a true sense of community at your SDSU home. Aside from the obvious benefits of convenience and camaraderie, on-campus living definitely offers important academic benefits as well!

The Office of Housing Administration has eight residence hall or apartment complexes, with a variety of living options. Residence halls are situated on the east and west sides of campus. Each residence hall contract includes local telephone service with voicemail, local cable service, and Internet connections in each room (except Aztec Corner). All halls/complexes are coed. All individual rooms, suites and apartments are same-gender.

Traditional Residence Halls

The traditional residence halls offer double occupancy accommodations. They are the best value and offer the greatest opportunity to develop a large social network. Each building or complex is usually divided into wings or room clusters. Though the buildings are all co-ed, we attempt to place same-gender residents close to their designated restroom. Each double room is equipped with a bed, desk & chair, dresser, closet, and bookshelf for each resident. Double rooms also include a microfridge.

Suite-Style Halls

University Towers (UT) offers mini-suite accommodations with two double rooms sharing a common bathroom. Four residents live in each mini-suite. Cuicacalli Suites has suite-style accommodations, where nine or ten residents share a suite with single and triple rooms, a shared common living area, full-size refrigerator and microwave, and two full-size bathrooms.

Cuicacalli Suites is also home to the residential dining facility, The Dining Room, along with the Aztec Grill & Convenience Store.

Apartments

Villa Alvarado is a 90-unit complex of furnished two bedroom apartments. Each apartment houses four students and includes a living room, dining area, kitchen and bathroom. Aztec Corner is a 175-unit complex of furnished one and two bedroom apartments, which include a living room, kitchen/dining area and bathroom/s. Each bedroom is double occupancy at Aztec Corner, with one bedroom apartments accommodating two residents and two bedroom apartments accommodating four residents. Villa Alvarado and Aztec Corner remain open during the Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks.
