r/csumb

Just got to my room in the Tortuga hall and found out there’s a RA staying in my room? Now they’re giving me a temporary room and I can’t move into my actual room till Wednesday-Thursday???? why did they not think to let me know ahead of time and not make me waste my time driving 3 hours for a room that isn’t even ready.

update: my temp room became my permanent room. had a situation where i couldn’t wait till after thursday to move, and housing wasn’t much help and basically told me to just suck it up, but they literally took my idea about turning my temp room to my permanent room.. so problem solved? definitely might look for an apartment next year

hi! anybody know the internet login for CSUMB for the dorms?

I want to take adult swim lessons, and assumed csumb would offer them but I can’t find anything about it online. I know there’s a pool available for students to use but I was wondering about actual lessons or even an instructor I could hire? Or even if anyone knows any swim classes available in the Marina area. Really want to learn how to swim lol Thanks!!

hi! I I got an email saying since I am a transfer student I can move in Monday and I signed that form. I checked my housing portal and it’s saying my move in is Wednesday? But since I got that email I can just move in anyways without worrying about the time slot right? or is the move in day in my housing just my official time if I didn’t sign up to move in early? Sorry this is just confusing

I’m looking to transfer Fall 2027 from my CC and was considering CSUMB. One thing i’m worried about is making friends, I’d say i’m not too introverted. It’s really important for me to find good friends and even a friend group. I know there’s events for transfers and I plan on attending all of those. I also plan on doing outdoor recreation, clubs, etc. I heard about the scuba diving classes which i’ll definitely be taking.

It might be a bit of a stupid question, but I applied for spring of 2027, and I sent my application in on Friday! I assumed I wouldn’t hear back until maybe October but I got an email about setting up my CSUMB account. This doesn’t mean I got accepted right? I was expecting an email from admissions first! And it also seems really quick.
**I’m an upper division transfer if that changes anything

I was assigned a 4 person unfurnished double and was wondering if a queen size mattress would fit, or if I had to look for a smaller size. Haven't been able to find much about how big the rooms are, so any help is appreciated!

do you guys think that housing would let me move in a week later? it’s just i have my sister’s engagement party the same weekend as move-in.

Sorry if this is a dumb question I’ve just been told during orientation that the beds can be lofted so that you can have a desk underneath, but I was wondering if there’s an option to have the bed lifted raised a little instead of all the way up for a desk.

I’d mainly want to lift it enough to have some extra storage underneath (I’m having trouble looking for plastic drawers that are below 24 inches), but I don’t necessarily want the bed high enough to fit a desk underneath. Has anyone at CSUMB done this or know if it’s possible?

Hi, im just wondering if there is a specific key time pickup that I was supposed to be given. Im in spotsylvania court. Im waiting on emails from housing if theres a way for me to get a specific key time pickup or if it is just 9am to 455pm any time.

I know we were given a general packing list for move-in, but does anyone have a list of essentials or anything else we may need specifically for the unfurnished units at East Campus? I know the unfurnished units are pretty much empty apartments but I just wanted to make sure I have everything I’ll actually need before moving in. Any input or suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance!
