Why Live On Campus
Why live on campus? Because everything you need to succeed is right outside your door. From the convenience of all-inclusive living to a built-in community of peers, staff and faculty, our residential communities are designed to help students thrive both academically and personally.
The Data
National and local statistics show that students who live on campus enjoy an increased sense of community and campus connectedness, are better prepared academically and graduate at faster rates than those who do not. Compared to students who live off campus, those who live on campus at SDSU:
- Have higher GPA's
- Take more units
- Are more likely to graduate in 4 years
