2026 Summer Housing Options
Most of our Summer 2026 housing will be in quads in San Antonio de Padua (SAP). Please expect to share a room with up to three other residents if you are interested in living on campus for the summer.
To be eligible to live in a University residence hall during the summer, you must
- be a USD student in good academic standing;
- have been enrolled at USD during the just completed spring semester or are enrolled (or intend to be enrolled) at USD for the upcoming fall semester; and
- be making normal progress toward the completion of a USD degree.
Exceptions to these policies will be considered but must be requested in writing and approved by the Department of Residential Life prior to the start of the summer session. All nonaffiliated visitors who are not academic year students enrolled at the University of San Diego will be referred to USD's Hospitality Services regarding their summer housing requests.
The summer housing application will be available in late April/ early May. Applications will be processed on a rolling basis but must be submitted to USD 5 business days prior to your requested move in day to avoid a $65 late application fee.

Room rates are based on room occupancy type. Students can indicate their preference on their summer housing application. These rates are confirmed for the summer of 2026.

Residence Halls
There are two main areas where summer residents are housed. The San Antonio de Padua Apartments are located in the Valley Housing Area and offer apartment housing in mainly shared one-bedroom units. Manchester Village is located on the northeast corner of campus. All apartment style areas offer living rooms, bedrooms (mostly shared rooms in shared apartment housing), dining areas and full kitchens with stoves and refrigerators.
All of the apartment units are furnished and wired for WiFi Internet access. Each resident has an extra long twin-size bed (some Manchester Village rooms offer full-size beds), dresser, desk, and desk chair. However, residents must provide their own linens (i.e. pillow, mattress cover, sheets, blanket, and towels), and a desk lamp, if desired. No small appliances are provided or dishes or cooking and eating utensils.
The Mata'yuum Crossroads Building houses the Residential Life Department as well as a laundry room, vending machines, the reception desk, Resident Assistant Office, Community Director Offices, study/conference rooms, printer, and a copy machine. All residents will have room keys encoded at the Mata'yuum Crossroads reception desk or Residential Life Office.
Our USD residence areas also house various summer conference groups and sports camps. The Summer Camps & Conferences office is located on the 1st floor of San Buenaventura.
Although university residence halls are equipped with basic furniture, you will need to provide your own blankets, sheets, pillows, towels, and desk lamps. The USD Torero Store can provide a variety of items if needed.
Laundry facilities are located in the garage of the SAP building and on the lower level of the Mata'yuum Crossroads Building. Laundry facilities for the MV & PT residents are located at each apartment facility.
All summer residents may obtain vacuums, toilet tissue, and trash bags from the Mata'yuum Crossroads or Manchester front desks.
The USD Torero Store is located in the Hahn University Center near Frank's Lounge. In addition to all necessary books and supplies for your classes, the Torero Store offers souvenirs, magazines, cards, camera needs, and computer supplies as well as a variety of snacks.
Residents with a USD ID card are welcome to use our brand new Palomar Health Student Wellness Center, adjacent to the Valley.

This deposit will be refunded, less any damages or cleaning charges once a student is no longer residing on campus. Continuing USD residents who have a $100.00 Damage and Cleaning Deposit on file will not need to make an additional deposit.
