We're Growing for You!

CSUSM is growing by adding an additional residential hall and new dining location coming 2026! This will allow more first-year students to live on campus and really engage with campus life.

Adding a new dining location near the new residential hall fosters community growth, enhances the quality of campus life and contributes to the social components by providing additional space for meetings with faculty and other students.
