IVC Student Housing

Opportunities at SDSU Imperial Valley

 

Opening Fall 2026

Imperial Valley College students will soon have access to brand-new, affordable housing located on the SDSU Imperial Valley campus in Calexico, just a short 5-minute walk from two Calexico-to-IVC Express bus stops. Developed in partnership with SDSU Imperial Valley and The Scion Group, this new student housing community offers a convenient, connected, and supportive living environment for IVC and SDSU students alike.

Living here means joining a vibrant student community where friendships, collaboration, and growth can thrive, all while staying focused on your academic goals and enjoying easy access to campus and transit.

Students interested in learning more are invited to attend the IVC Housing Forum on March 31 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 2131, where details on housing features, eligibility, and the application process will be shared. Families are also welcome to attend and explore this exciting opportunity together.

Advantages of Student Living

Living in a dedicated student community offers more than convenience. For Imperial Valley College students, it creates a supportive environment that helps you stay focused and succeed academically and personally. Located on the SDSU Imperial Valley campus, this housing allows IVC students to commute easily via nearby transit while living alongside SDSU students in a shared academic community.

Compared to students who live off campus, those who live in student housing are more likely to: 

  • Earn higher grade-point averages (GPAs) 
  • Take more units 
  • Graduate sooner 
  • Stay connected to campus life 
  • Build meaningful friendships 

Living alongside other students makes it easier to stay engaged, motivated, and focused on your academic success.
