Living on campus at Sonoma State University means more than convenience; it means connection, independence, balance, and a sense of belonging.

The Full College Experience

“Something that really made me want to live on campus was honestly, just the lifestyle of living in a dorm. Being able to surround myself around other people my age and getting a feel for that college life. The biggest benefit out of this so far was being able to create many memories with suitemates and being able to have fun while in college while still staying locked in for school.”

Peaceful Living and Balance

“I chose to live on campus for a healthier living environment and to have a space that is mine. It is also more convenient rather than commuting to campus every day for classes. The biggest benefit has been the nature I am surrounded by as well as the amazing people I have met."

“The biggest benefit for me living on campus was being able to get involved quickly and making friendships in communities that have the same interests as me. Those are people I now have as friends, and it would have been harder if not living on campus.”

Comfort & Belonging

“The apartment-style housing is what made me live on campus. I love how comforting and homey it feels to live on campus here at SSU. My biggest benefit so far is being able to interact with everyone and build connections with other people who live on campus as well. I also don't have to spend a lot of gas money or travel far because I'm on campus.”

Grow In Independence

“I decided to live on campus because I wanted to become more independent. I knew living at home it would be much harder to do so. The biggest benefit of living on campus is definitely living in an academic environment!”
