Cal State Fullerton does not have a live-on requirement currently. On campus housing options are provided based on a first eligible basis. Housing and Residential Engagement provides residence halls, suites, and apartment-style living for approximately 2,000 students. Living on campus is an excellent way to enhance your educational experience. Being a member of a living and learning community can help strengthen both your personal growth and academic success. You will have the opportunity to develop life skills, attend educational, cultural and social programs, and interact more closely with faculty and university staff members. We encourage you to get involved, study hard, make new friends, and reach higher.

Living on campus gives you more than just a place to stay – it connects you to a community, to wellness, and to campus resources.
