Housing Information


The Honors Residential Learning Community in Zura Hall offers students the best of both worlds-they enjoy access to all the benefits that come with a large university at the same time that they have the advantages of participating in a small, intellectually and socially vibrant liberal arts community with other academically prepared students. Being around other engaged and motivated students is a proven pathway for success. 

First-year Residency Experience
All incoming first-year honors students from outside SDSU’s local admissions area are required to live on campus in the Honors Residential Learning Community (RLC) in Zura Hall their first year at the university.  Living on campus in the Honors RLC is an option for local area first-year honors students but is not required.
