Mail and Addresses

If you live in the Classics, Suites, or Student Apartments, your mailbox is located on the 2nd floor of Joe West Hall in the Resident Mailroom. You will receive your mailbox number and combination in your assignment letter. Your new mailing address will include this mailbox number. Therefore, mail addressed to you should read:

First Name, Last Name
375 South 9th Street , Box # <your mailbox number>
San José , CA 95112

**Please note that, in the mailing address above, the “Box” number is your mailbox number and NOT your room or apartment number!**

This is your personal mailbox while you live on-campus with us. So, even if you move rooms or apartments from year to year, your mailbox never has to change!

If you live in the Faculty/Staff/Guest apartments, your mail is delivered directly to your apartment building by the U.S. post office. Therefore, mail addressed to you should read:

First Name, Last Name
380 South 9th Street , Box # <your apartment number>
San José , CA 95112

If you require the actual building addresses they are as follows:

• Building A, 380 South 9th Street, San José, CA 95112
