California State University, Chico Parent Guide
Housing at CSU Chico
The Residential Life program at Chico State encourages personal growth in a student community setting. It provides a climate where the community atmosphere complements the educational mission of the University. Each residence community has a professional full-time coordinator and an assistant coordinator as well as student resident advisors for each living area. There is also a programming and leadership coordinator who initiates educational, social, and athletic activities within the University Housing communities.
On-Campus Residence Halls
Chico State provides five on-campus residence halls reserved primarily for incoming freshmen; the sixth hall, Sutter Hall, is primarily a sophomore/junior residence hall and accommodates 222 residents. Most residence hall rooms are double occupancy, but there are some single and triple rooms in Whitney Hall. Whitney, the largest of the residence halls, accommodates 544 students in a high-rise setting. Lassen Hall and Shasta Hall each accommodate 210 students. At the north end of campus are several smaller residence halls. Esken Hall and Mechoopda Hall house 112 and 120 students respectively. Konkow Hall is made up of six thematic communities and accommodates 78 students in total.
University Apartments
University Village (UV) is the only University-owned apartment community and is the most unique student housing facility in Chico. This resident community provides mostly cluster-style living with up to six students sharing a kitchen and two bathrooms per suite. Approximately 600 Chico State students will call University Village home for the academic year. UV is home to first-time freshmen, continuing residents, transfer students, and international students. The cluster-style apartments are fully furnished, so UV residency means you don’t have to provide furniture or arrange for utilities and phone and Internet connections.
