Advantages of Student Living 

Living in a dedicated student community offers more than convenience. It provides a supportive environment that helps students succeed academically and personally. SDSU Imperial Valley students benefit from being within walking distance to their classes, while Imperial Valley College students have access to nearby transit for a convenient commute.

Compared to students who live off campus, those who live in student housing are more likely to:

• Earn higher grade-point averages (GPAs)
• Take more units
• Graduate sooner
• Stay connected to campus life
• Build meaningful friendships

When living alongside other students, it is easier to stay involved, motivated and focused on your academic success.

About The Community 

Designed for shared student living, each apartment includes four (4) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms. Bedrooms are available in either double-occupancy (two residents per bedroom) or single-occupancy (one resident per bedroom). Depending on bedroom occupancy, each apartment accommodates between four (4) and eight (8) residents.

Within each bedroom, every resident has their own bed and mattress, desk, chair and wardrobe. The apartment also includes a shared kitchenette with a sink, microwave, refrigerator, freezer and a four-burner cooktop, along with a dining area furnished with a table and chairs. Each unit is equipped with air conditioning.

Please note: Single-occupancy room types will have only one resident assigned to the bedroom. However, the bedroom will remain furnished as a double-occupancy bedroom, including two beds, desks and wardrobes. No furniture will be removed.

In addition, the Calexico Police Department is located about 0.2 miles from campus, providing close proximity to local emergency services for added peace of mind.
