Student Life
Roughly two thirds of CSUMB students live on campus. Residence halls, suites and apartments (bldgs. 200s and 300s) are located within walking distance to all campus facilities. East campus housing offers additional apartment life two miles away for students and families that receives shuttle access to and from campus.
Students can walk or take the campus shuttle to classes and activities. The MST bus service, free to all CSUMB students in Monterey County, comes to the campus and housing communities as well. Students also enjoy going into downtown Monterey, which is a popular tourist destination, being home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and Old Fisherman's Wharf. Additionally, students enjoy nearby Santa Cruz, with such attractions as the Boardwalk and the Mystery Spot, let alone downtown Santa Cruz. Other popular spots near CSUMB are Carmel-by-the-Sea, the 17-mile scenic drive, world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Resort, and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
