RESIDENTIAL LIFE

Residence Halls

SUA aspires to create and maintain a healthy LivingLearning community where residents share purposeful common academic, residential, and social components of the undergraduate experience. Students continue to reap educational and social benefits from living oncampus in the residence hall community. In promotion of student success, Soka provides undergraduate students on-campus housing.

As a member of the Living-Learning community, students will have unique educational opportunities while developing meaningful connections with fellow students. Residents can influence their living experience through participation in programs and activities as well as serving in leadership roles.

The residence hall community offers the following features: Living Room, Multi Purpose Room, Exercise Room, Kitchenette and Community Kitchen, and Study Rooms. Some of the unique features of each student room are room-controlled temperature and private bathrooms with bathtub and shower. Each room also offers the following for each resident: Wi-Fi, data port, telephone, a desk with hutch for books, a chair, wardrobe closet, and a twin-sized bed with extra long twin mattress (38 inches x 80 inches) with approximately 12 inches x 80 inches of under bed storage space. Based on availability, students may request that their beds be set up loftstyle or bunk-bed style after check-in.

ADA (American Disability Act) rooms are also available. They offer a private bathroom with accessible shower and are designed with other unique features. For more information, please contact Brian Durick, Director of Student Services, at (949) 480-4018, bdurick@soka.edu

Roommates

All first year students will share a room with another student from their incoming class. Although the residence halls are coeducational (coed), the majority of the rooms are not and two students of the same gender will occupy a room. SUA also offers a Gender Inclusive Housing option in the residence halls. Gender Inclusive Housing is a rooming option that places no restriction on the gender of roommates. It supports the diversity of identities at Soka University of America and is intended to meet the needs of students and create a more inclusive environment. Gender Inclusive Housing provides all individuals, including those who identify as gender non-conforming and/or transgender, with a choice in their living arrangements on campus. Students are to complete the online First Year Housing Application which will be used to assist us in rooming assignments. If requesting a specific roommate, it must be mutually requested. Matching preferences are difficult to guarantee, but we will make every effort to match you with a roommate closest to your preferences based upon the information we receive.

The program explores a variety of human issues such as literacy, poverty, racism, hunger, homelessness and the environment in the fall semester and culminates with a week-long volunteer service experience during Spring Break.

Health Services

Our on-campus Health Center is staffed with a CA licensed physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner and receptionist from South Coast Medical Group (SCMG). All students may receive treatment at the Health Center at no cost. For after-hour/weekend services, SCMG Urgent Care is available in close proximity to campus.Please note that the Student Health History form and Health Insurance Waiver must be submitted prior to enrollment at SUA.

Banking Information

Capstone Federal Credit Union’s automatic teller machine (ATM) is located in the Student Center,

providing a convenient opportunity for students to withdraw money or make deposits to their accounts with Capstone. Those students who have accounts with other banks can also use Capstone’s ATM, but will be charged a small transaction fee. Many other local banks (i.e. Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Wells Fargo, US Bank) are located near the campus, and are never more than a shuttle ride away, so students can use their ATMs as well. Capstone representatives and other local bank representatives will be on campus during the first week of Orientation for anyone interested in opening an account.

Dining Services

SUA understands the importance of dining as part of the total experience of living on campus. SUA’s dining service is dedicated to the creation of a custom restaurant experience. We want your experience to be like eating at your favorite café or bistro back home.

To ensure satisfaction, a comment/suggestion box is maintained. Either the General Manager or the Executive Chef will respond to every comment card. In addition, you can send an e-mail with suggestions or personal recipes. And for those that feel more comfortable talking in person, the management team is always present during meals.

In addition, our staff is devoted to observing safety protocols and providing a safe dining experience for students.

Counseling Services

Counseling Services offer various types of assistance to help students work through elements which impact a student’s academic and/or personal life. SUA has two full-time Counselors on campus that students may visit for individual or group counseling sessions. The Counselors understand that not all students may be comfortable with “traditional services” of individual and/or group counseling. As a result, a more holistic approach is taken to ensure that students are empowered to discuss problems and conflicts in either formal or informal settings.

In addition to the on-campus Counselors, students have the ability to connect with a number of different licensed counselors for tele-therapy through Soka-sponsored apps or to schedule appointments with several local, off-campus counseling partners.

Career Development and Internships

During the college years, much of student development focuses on identifying career goals. Career Development and Internships seeks to support students not only in identifying these goals but also by ensuring that they are prepared to achieve them. Services such as individual career planning, job/graduate school searches, cover letter and resume writing, interviewing skills, and salary negotiation will be offered periodically during the student’s time at SUA. A career counselor will be available for both individual and group help as students adjust to the demands of school and the always changing world of work and career.

Many SUA students come with a desire to be a part of the larger community that surrounds the campus. The office tries to create opportunities for students to intern and or gain work experience as well.
