USA Housing

Services for Students
Studying in the USA

There are two types of accommodation available:

1. Accommodation owned and managed by your college or university (this could be either on or off-campus).

2. Accommodation owned by private landlords or external organisations.

As an international student you may be eligible for student housing on-campus known as ‘dormitories’. Dormitory residents often share a room with two or three people (of the same sex) and typically share large bathrooms. Please contact the universities you are applying to for more information.

If the school you have applied to does not provide on-campus accommodations for international students, or if you do not want to live on campus, you can move into private accommodation. It is a good idea to check your legal obligations very carefully before signing a lease agreement - you will be able to seek advice from your university’s off-campus housing office. Be aware that if you contact a real estate agent for assistance, you may be liable for fees for their services.
