What are the popular events and traditions at Menlo College?

Menlo's reported campus events include OAKtober Fest, a Luau, and Apollo Night, a talent show. These gatherings provide examples of student social and performance programming rather than requirements of college life.

Event formats, organizers, and dates can change. Students interested in taking part - not only attending - should check the current activities calendar and ask how performers, volunteers, or student groups join the planning process.

What are the student housing and dining options at Menlo College?

Menlo College offers college-operated, coed undergraduate housing with high-speed internet access. The existence of campus housing does not mean that a room is guaranteed to every applicant or that a particular room type will be available.

Students comparing residential options should check current residence-hall descriptions, eligibility and application dates, contract lengths, and room-assignment rules. They should review meal-plan requirements and dining hours at the same time: a plan's value depends partly on whether its schedule fits classes, work, and weekends. Students planning to live off campus should account for Peninsula rent, transportation, and the terms of any private lease before comparing that choice with a campus housing offer.
