‘It’s a big removal of a barrier’: What housing at California’s community colleges looks like

Soon, residential campus life will be a reality at a growing number of California community college campuses, too. The state plans to spend $2.2 billion on student housing over three years, and a dozen community colleges have already been awarded construction grants totaling more than $500 million to build new dorms or expand existing ones.
