Cultivate - The Home of Camino & Founders Residents

Cultivate students are housed in Camino and Founders halls. It features two connected buildings, separated by gender, on the west end of campus that were originally built for the San Diego College of Women in the early 1950s. Student residences exist on the second floor, while classrooms occupy the first floor of these two-story buildings.

Camino Hall is for male residents, Founders Hall is for female residents, and the two buildings are connected by a bridge. Their unique design provides most rooms with a view of the beautifully landscaped courtyards. Residents share communal bathrooms with individual "Johnny-Squares" assigned to each room. Both Camino and Founders are equipped with brand new community kitchen facilities! Camino & Founders have double, triple and quad rooms.

I love Cultivate for its importance of nurturing growth and sustainability—whether in ourselves, our relationships, or our communities. It’s a reminder that meaningful change takes time, intention, and care.
