boarding PROGRAM
“It’s like a taste of college life.”
– Chantaell, Class of 2010
The residence hall offers students an opportunity to both live and learn at Eastside. Students think of the residence hall as their “home away from home” and their fellow boarders, student resident advisors and resident faculty as part of their extended families. Two students share a room, and each evening all students gather in the lounges for evening study sessions and a variety of activities, from house meetings to movies, game nights, community service and special celebrations. Weekend programs have included an Iron Chef competition, a day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, a ski trip to Lake Tahoe and an afternoon of team-building activities at City Beach in San Jose.
