CSULB Housing

Still looking for housing for the 2026-2027 academic year? Our general application is open for all students, new and returning, with NO current waitlist (as of Friday, May 22, 2026).

New students, this is your chance to live at The Beach and benefit from convenient access to campus, supportive staff, and programs and events to help you make connections and start your Beach Journey off strong. 

Have you lived with us before? Return to the halls to continue your Beach Journey! Returners currently waitlisted will be getting an email within the next week confirming your spot for next academic year, so make sure to reach out to us ASAP if you are no longer interested in living on-campus.

It’s time for us to wave goodbye! 🌊👋

Our buildings are closed for the summer as of 11am this morning. Thank you for a wonderful year! Our buildings will now be home to summer school residents and various conferences and specialty groups such as the Special Olympics staff and athletes and the Summer Bridge Program.

We are proud to have been part of your Beach Journey 🌴💛🖤🦈 have a great summer!
