Check-mate out this club

The SDSU Chess Club has been around for a long time. Few remain who know about the early years. The club has never been big, but the members are always very excited about chess and love to play the game. Currently, about five members come consistently, with others coming in and out as they can make it to meetings.

Coming soon: more housing

SDSU is currently looking at possible locations and designs for new student residences. For the last eight years, SDSU’s student enrollment has climbed, stretching the already strained student housing facilities further. SDSU is rapidly approaching 12,000 enrolled students, further pressuring the housing environments.
