Modern Living for First-Year Students

North Commons is CSUSM's newest residential community and the perfect place to start your college journey. Opened in 2022, this modern suite-style residence hall is designed specifically for first-year students, offering private in-room bathrooms, study spaces and stunning views of campus across seven floors.

Located right next to the Extended Learning Building and Campus Way Cafe, you'll have everything within reach, including access to a fitness center, pool, sun deck and fire pit at The QUAD next door.
