Sac State’s New Freshman Living Requirement
Sacramento State is instituting a two-year on-campus living requirement for first-time students starting in Fall 2026. President Luke Wood announced the requirement over the summer as a way to provide for students’ basic needs and academic success. But the plan has also drawn criticism about the potential financial impacts on students, and the university’s capacity to house them. Nadine Kelley, Executive Director for Housing Services joins Insight to talk about how this policy will roll out, and what it means for financially-strapped students.
