Residential Learning and Theme Communities

The primary objective of residential learning and theme housing at San Francisco State University is to provide an environment where students can explore the interconnected relationship between what is learned and what is lived.

The communities bring together diverse groups of residents with common intellectual, political, and/or social interests. We hope to support the development of residential communities sustained by commitment to intellectual inquiry, personal and collective introspection, and social action.

Moreover, we believe the existence of such communities stimulates critical dialogue within the Residential Community regarding the meaning and function of human difference and group solidarity.

Residents are encouraged to bring forth proposals for theme floors which meet the core goals of our housing program. Proposals will be reviewed by Residential Life professional staff, and will be judged on the following criteria:

  • Residency on the proposed theme floor must be open to and inclusive of all continuing Residence Community students.

  • The floor must be consistent with the mission of the Residential Life Program. The floor must incorporate concrete academic/learning objectives.

  • The floor must make a positive contribution to the quality of the Residential Community.


Contact your RA if you are interested in learning more about the Theme Floor application process.
