Your Life at SUA
Housing
Soka’s 10 residence halls aim to create a positive environment beyond the standard necessities “dormitories” often provide.
Dining
Soka understands the importance of dining as part of the total experience of living on campus, which is why we’ve partnered with Bon Appétit to create a custom dining experience.
Safety
Your safety is a top priority. Soka is committed to ensuring students feel safe and comfortable on campus.
Health Services
SUA provides all students free on-campus medical services provided by a California-licensed medical practitioner.
Counseling Services
We also provide free counseling services for a variety of issues students may encounter while adjusting to life at college.
Disability Services
Our goal is to support all students and we will work closely to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations to help students achieve their goals.
Additional Services
Mail Center
Located on the 3rd floor of the student center, the Mail Center provides the same services as USPS (except for money orders) and receives and ships items from other carriers such as FedEx and UPS. You can buy stamps, ship packages and letters (domestic and international), and pick up your mail. Resident students have a personal mail box: to receive mail in the proper destination the sender must include your unit number in the address.
Shuttle Services
We offer a FREE shuttle service for students to get around town. The shuttle operates on a circular route that stops along three major plazas near campus every 30 minutes. If students need to go somewhere outside of this normal route, they may submit a special request. However, the destination must be within a 5-mile radius of the university. Transportation to and from John Wayne Airport is also provided seasonally on designated dates.
