Housing for International Students

Though on-campus housing is available, it is limited and most Cal State East Bay students choose to live off campus and walk or commute to school.  

On-Campus Housing

2-4 bedroom apartments are available in Pioneer Heights.  Select on-campus housing for more information.

Off-Campus Housing

Students also have an option to live in off-campus apartments, rented rooms or in shared houses. There are several apartment facilities located within walking distance or accessible to campus by public transit (AC Transit bus route 60 or the BART).  

The Housing and Residential Life Office provides information for off campus living and resources for identifying off-campus housing for students, faculty and staff. The office provides off-campus rental listings, landlord and tenant issue information and referrals, campus area and city maps, bus route schedules and information, and consumer information to assist you in making housing decisions. You may visit the Housing Office in person to see their housing listings.

For your convenience you can access a shortlist of nearby apartments off-campus.  You may also search websites like apartment list for Hayward apartments for rent.
