STUDENT HOUSING FOR CBC students opened in September across the street from the Pasco campus. Each furnished suite has a kitchen, dining space and a private bathroom. Amenities include open lounge areas and outdoor activity space facing the adjacent Sun Willows Golf Course. CBC made the decision to seek student housing after a survey showed student interest in a residence hall style living option.
