How do dorms work for transgender and non-binary college students in California?Answered
This is really question for co-ed schools only - I don't think a single gender school would work for me.
Are there widespread guidelines for students like me? Are we allowed to self-define our (a)gender(s), or do college officials pick where we stay? Is there anything I should know while applying to stay in college dorms as a transgender and non-binary person?
Thank you so much!

I would start by doing a google search on gender inclusive housing in CA.
One school that has been leading the way is Pitzer College which is part of the 5Cs.
Others I found were
CSUMB - Cal State Univ. Monterrey Bay
UCR- UC Riverside
UofSF - University of San Francisco
USC - Univ of S. Cal
CSUSB - Cal State Univ. San Bernardino
UCD- UC Davis
UCSC- UC Santa Cruz has specific Trans housing.
Chapman
CSSLO- Cal State San Luis Obispo
UCLA
UC Berkeley
Claremont McKenna College and Pomona (only after your first year)
Actually most of them are either gender inclusive and some are trans specific.
Hope that is helpful.
