Suites of 12-16 students (primarily triples) sharing two lounge areas and a bathroom

Verified Aug 17, 2026 · revelle.ucsd.edu

Per Revelle College's residence-life page, "Argo is a six-story building which accommodates approximately 350 students, with a Resident Assistant on each floor," and "Each of the five residential floors has six suites and each suite houses between 12 and 16 students (primarily in triple rooms) who share two lounge areas and a bathroom." Revelle's page groups its first-year housing as Argo, Blake, and the Fleet; HDH's Revelle neighborhood directory lists eight residence halls in total — Blake, Argo, Discovery, Galathea, Meteor, Atlantis, Challenger and Beagle.

Argo's 12-16 person suites share just one bathroom and two lounge areas — factor that into laundry and shower timing during the first week when everyone's on the same class schedule.

Living in Argo Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Argo Hall rooms are primarily triples, tucked into suites of 12 to 16 students, with six suites on each of the building's five residential floors. Each resident gets a Twin XL bed (36" x 80"), a desk and chair, and a dresser or chest of drawers. Closet configuration isn't published on Revelle's pages, so confirm the specifics with Residence Life if storage planning matters — most students lean on over-the-door organizers and under-bed bins rather than bringing extra furniture. Note that UC San Diego's Community Standards prohibit BUILDING your own platforms, lofts, or shelving units; that is a rule against construction, not necessarily against adjusting university-provided furniture, and Revelle does not publish whether its beds can be raised. There's no air conditioning in Argo — like every UCSD hall — so a fan earns its keep during the rare 80-degree afternoon. Expect a six-story building with five residential floors.

Day to day

Twelve to sixteen students per suite means Argo runs on shared space: two lounge areas and one bathroom serve each suite, so showering around class schedules becomes a fast-learned skill. Revelle's own page confirms "Washers and Dryers on each floor (Blake and Argo) or building (Fleet)" — so Argo residents don't face the walk to a central laundry room that Fleet residents do. A Resident Assistant lives on each floor, anchoring the first-year community that Revelle is built around. Dining is a short walk away at 64 Degrees and Umi, with Roger's Market next door for late-night snacks and grocery basics, all listed in HDH's Revelle neighborhood directory alongside the Residence Life Office.

Move-in day

Revelle students can view their room assignment and pick a move-in time slot starting August 20, 2026 — third in HDH's staggered per-college rollout, behind Sixth (8/18) and Muir (8/19). General move-in for Fall 2026 runs September 16-20, with an additional week zero window September 21-25. The Theatre District Parking Structure is the garage listed for Revelle in HDH's neighborhood directory; because Argo is a six-story building, arriving early in your assigned window helps avoid elevator backups during the busiest hours. HDH's move-in page notes that "EACH Move-Ins will be able to select from additional dates provided. Cost is $50/day and will be assessed to your student statement unless covered by another department" — the page does not define who qualifies, so check with HDH before assuming you're eligible.
