Wonderful location, small but manageable rooms. The RAs take their job a little too seriously, going as far as to knock on my door at midnight and accuse me of smoking weed because they smelled it in our general hallway.

very close to dining hall and isla vista as well as the beach, a little further than other dorms from classes

San Raf is a really great dorm to live with if you have established friends. The suite style of living allows you to share a bathroom and living room with your friends. It’s super close to IV as well. Would highly recommend for 2nd years.

Close to lecture halls, Isla Vista, and dining halls, San Rafael is the place to be. Make sure to take advantage of the pool nearby.
