Laurel Village

CSU’s newest set of residence halls, LV is comprised of three buildings: two residence halls and the Pavilion community center. Alpine and Piñon Halls house 615 first-year, upper-division, and transfer students, many of whom participate in the College of Natural Sciences Learning Community. Also home to one of our Transfer Communities. On the north side of campus, both halls feature a mix of community-style and suite-style rooms with shared and private bathrooms. Laurel Village has limited space open for general assignments (for students who would like to live in the halls but not be connected to a specific community).

⭐ Freshman Housing

All freshmen (with some exemptions) are required to live in one of our 15 residence halls. CSU offers suite style and community style living. To check out 3-D floor models, room tours, and prices see our Housing and Dining website.

Suite Style Rooms

Suite style rooms have two roommates who share a jack-and-jill style bathroom with another set of roommates. Suite style rooms can be found in Parmalee Hall, Corbett Hall, Laurel Village, Summit, Academic Village, and Braiden Hall

Community Style Rooms

Community style rooms have bathrooms located at the end of the hall that are shared by all. These bathroom are cleaned everyday! Community style rooms can be found in Westfall Hall, Durward Hall, Laurel Village, Allison Hall, Edwards Hall, Ingersoll Hall, and Newsom Hall.

Residence Assistants

The Resident Assistant (RA) is a live-in student staff position that is responsible for assisting students living in the halls both individually and in groups. The RA’s primary role is to facilitate the creation of a positive residence hall environment which supports students’ transition, academic, and personal success.

⭐ Meal Plans

All students living in residence halls on-campus are required to have a dining plan and can eat at any of our 8 dining halls. Meal plans come in 10, 14, and 21 meals per week. The food at CSU is seriously yummy, and accommodates a range of dietary restrictions from gluten or lactose free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and more. There is even a nutritionist for students interested in learning more about their diet.

For meal plan pricing and more dining hall info see the dining website.

⭐ Residential Learning Communities

Residential learning communities (RLCs) are programs organized to introduce and integrate academic and social learning in residence halls. They include Arts and Creative Expression, Amplify: College of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Global Village, Health and Exercise Science, Honors, Key Communities, Learning Through Dialogue, Natural Resources and Sustainability, and Outdoor Leadership. Learn more about each here.

⭐ Amplify: College of Natural Sciences Residential Learning Community

Amplify is a residential learning community for students from the College of Natural Sciences housed in Piñon and Alpine Halls. Students live with others in their majors and can participate in science-themed experiences. Additionally, students can apply to be in smaller learning communities within Amplify. These learning communities have intentionally structured programming that center around students who have been historically marginalized in STEM.
