Roommate Assignments

San Diego State University Office of Housing Administration (OHA) aims to pair students who attend the same campus, either Imperial Valley College or SDSU Imperial Valley. When possible, students will be paired with others who are in a similar age group, either under 21 or 21 and older. All units are assigned based on each resident’s self-identified gender and mixed-gender units are not available. 

If a student already has someone they would like to live with, they may indicate that preference in the OHA Housing Portal. All students must meet eligibility requirements to live on campus.
