Our Community
Making Humboldt your home is a great way to be a part of a community, to be a part of something larger than yourself. Plus living here is convenient: rooms come furnished, eateries and activities are around the corner, and so are your classes; you can roll out of bed and probably still make it to class on time!
We have a variety of housing options to suit your needs: apartments, suites, or traditional residence halls. Each comes with a list of amenities, facilities, and other features to make your life a little easier. You can even live alongside students who share common interests in one of our Living-Learning Community Housing options.
As many choices as there are, some things - like having support and feeling valued and respected - come standard. Staff and the students who work here do more than keep things fun by hosting events and activities; they provide an ear to listen if you miss home, can offer suggestions if things are difficult with your roommates, and connect with you to campus clubs or other leadership opportunities based on your interests and goals.
While living on campus, residents will become educated, active, and responsible participants in their community by developing critical thinking skills and a definition of personal well-being. Below are the specifics of what we call our "AxE Plan" which stands for "Academic and Engagement Plan". Our interactions with you, our events and programs, and the information we share through posters and flyers, will all stem from the goals and topics listed below.
