About

Huāxyacac is a traditional-style residence hall for first-year students. Traditional-style halls are co-ed (single-gender by room) with communal restrooms on each floor. Huāxyacac has 380 units with triple-occupancy room types (and limited quads, doubles and singles). Room types are based on availability and cannot be guaranteed. This hall is located on the west side of campus near the Tony Gwynn Stadium.

Ancient Aztec Meaning

Huāxyacac refers to the "place of the guaje," a pod from the Leucaena leucocephala tree, more commonly known as the Guaje tree. Huāxyacac is a Nahuatl variation that refers to the region of Oaxaca as it was known by the Aztecs prior to colonial contact. Pronunciation: Wah-she-YAH-cack.
