About Off-Campus Housing Near California State University-San Bernardino
California State University, San Bernardino sits about 19,000 Coyotes on 441 acres of bedrock on the city's north side, framed by the San Bernardino Mountains rising right behind campus. The mascot fits: real coyotes roam the foothills, which is how the Coyotes name and Cody the Coyote came to be. Campus has its own rituals, like rubbing the paw of the Wild Song coyote sculpture outside the student union for luck during finals. Each fall, Weeks of Welcome floods campus with events for new students, and Coyote Cares Day sends Coyotes out to volunteer. The mountains define the backdrop, with beaches, the desert, and bigger cities all about an hour out. It's largely a commuter campus, so most students drive, and the area spreads into the foothill neighborhoods on the city's north end.
California State University-San Bernardino Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
CSUSB does not require freshmen to live on campus, and it is largely a commuter school, so many students live at home or rent off campus from their first year. On-campus villages like Coyote Village house first-years and some returning students, but they are optional and limited. That pushes plenty of students into the local rental market right away.
Off-Campus Eligibility
When students rent off campus, they cluster in the foothill neighborhoods on the city's north side close to campus. The rental process is standard Inland Empire, so landlords run credit and income checks, and a guarantor or cosigner helps students with thin credit get approved. Independent landlords here often screen more loosely than big complexes.
Lease Timing
Watch occupancy limits some San Bernardino landlords write into leases, confirm whether parking is included, and read who covers utilities. Get every roommate and payment arrangement in writing before you sign. Sorting these details out early protects you from surprises.
