As the first and only residence hall facility attached to the Highline College’s campus, Campus View Student Housing addresses a key need to enhance the overall student experience. Since its opening in 2019, Highline’s Campus View is the cornerstone of a rich campus life experience for current Highline students, not just for accommodation.

For international students, living on campus is especially beneficial, helping them make a smoother transition to a new cultural and academic environment.
Kelly Muysrrong, a student at Highline, attested to the importance of dorms, saying, “One reason I chose Highline was the dorms. I think it’s most convenient for both international and local students to get to class and to socialize with the students on campus.”
Student dormitories can serve as a hub to build a supportive community for students who are far from home. Through purposefully designed shared spaces and inclusive programming, as well as festivals organized in each residence hall, Campus View actively promotes cross-cultural connections, creating a built-in network that transcends national and cultural boundaries.
It is a testament to Highline College’s commitment to fostering an integrated, multinational campus environment that not only provides students with a place to live, but also provides students with a community that enriches their entire college experience.
