Housing Options
For new students coming to the U.S.:
All students coming to CSU San Marcos from outside the U.S. are required to live in on-campus housing for their first year of study. The only exceptions are:
- If you are entering as a Master's level (graduate) student.
- If your family would prefer that you live in American homestay.
- If you have a family member near San Marcos who will provide room and board for you.
On Campus Housing
There are two options for on-campus housing:
University Village Apartments: offers 9 or 12 month lease.
The Quad: only offers 12 month lease. If you choose to live in The Quad, you must pay for the summer months, even if you will be traveling.
