programs which do the same.
The Residential Life program at Fresno State Student Housing is one of the many reasons to live on-campus. Our staff
is here to both challenge and support our students on their journeys. Our staff offers over 360 events a year that give
students the opportunity to interact, have fun, learn and develop relationships.
It is our hope that you get involved with your community, succeed academically, and find opportunities to learn both in
and out of the classroom. Research indicates that students who live on-campus for even just one year are more likely to
complete their degrees in four years and achieve a higher grade point average than students who never live on-campus.
Our staff is here to help you be a successful student, have fun and enjoy the college experience.

Residence Hall Association (RHA) Leadership Class
RHA is our premier leadership group. Its members function
as a representative body of the residents at Fresno State
Student Housing. RHA tackles issues and concerns relating
to our students, always seeking to make on-campus
residential living even better. At the beginning of the spring semester we offer a
leadership class (RA 70) for residents of Fresno State
Student Housing. This 9-week, 2 unit class covers the
foundations of leadership, discussing and practicing the
skills needed to be a good leader. Although this class is
required for all of our Residential Life Staff positions, all
students are welcomed and encouraged to take the class.
