1st Year Student Housing

Whether you prefer residence hall, suite, or apartment-style housing, SF State has a variety of housing communities, room types, meal plans, and license agreement terms for you to choose from. Whatever you’re looking for, we have a space that’s right for you. 

Mary Ward Hall

TRADITIONAL RESIDENCE HALLS

License Agreement | Academic Year (AY) or Spring (SP)
Meal Plan | Mandatory

One of the best ways to experience college life is living in a residence hall. Not only will you have a comfortable place to live, but you will be part of an exciting community where you can meet people, build friendships, get involved in activities, and grow both personally and academically.

COMMUNITIES

Towers at Centennial Square

FULL & PARTIAL SUITES

License Agreement | Academic Year (AY) or Spring (SP)
Meal Plan | Mandatory

Students who prefer more independence and housing with more of an “apartment-feel” will find what they need in our full and partial suites. Although students will have more independence, they will still have plenty of opportunities to get involved.

COMMUNITIES

Village at Centennial Square

APARTMENTS

License Agreement | Academic Year (AY), Spring (SP), or Summer (SU)
Meal Plan | Mandatory for AY and SP, Not Included for SU

Apartment living options offer students the best of both worlds - independence and community living. Students will enjoy comfortable living spaces while having access to resources, support, and opportunities to engage with others.
