Student Life

Housing Assistance

College of San Mateo does not offer on-campus housing in the form of dormitories or apartments. However, the Center for Student Life & Leadership Development does maintain an up-to-date list of off-campus community housing. This housing is usually in the form of rooms in private homes, but shared houses and/or apartments are sometimes available.

Housing Posting

If you have housing available, please submit your housing listing using our Online Housing Posting Form.

Ads are posted online, and remain posted for at least a month.
