Move-In Weekend Schedule

A Diverse Community Arrives

This year’s incoming class represents the rich diversity that defines CSU Pueblo. Students are arriving from all 50 states and numerous countries, bringing fresh perspectives and experiences that will shape their four years on campus and contribute to the Pack community.

The residence halls serve as far more than just housing. They’re community hubs where students forge lasting friendships, join organizations, explore their interests, and build the foundation for their college experience. For many, move-in weekend marks the beginning of transformative years ahead.

Supporting Student Success

“Our residence halls give students an opportunity to develop independence, learn how to live and communicate with others, and build the skills they need to navigate college and life beyond campus,” said Monica Gallegos, Director of Residence Life & Housing.

Residence Life & Housing at CSU Pueblo is committed to creating inclusive, supportive living communities that enhance student success and belonging. The office manages on-campus housing for approximately 700 students this year across residence halls designed to foster community engagement and personal growth.
