Housing Options for International Students
When you apply to your program – remember you also need to apply to find a place to live! We can help with that. You may choose to live in International Homestay, in Student Housing, or in a rental apartment.
It is important to arrange your housing early. Space in the Homestay Program and Student Housing is limited. You should submit your Homestay or Student Housing application as soon as you have received your offer of admission to the College. If you plan to live in off-campus housing, you may need to arrange short-term accommodations at a local hotel or motel upon your arrival and allow yourself one to two weeks to secure long-term housing.
