I am an international (foreign) student. Where can I live?

If you are an international (foreign) student, contact the international students' office at the college or university you will be attending. This office might be able to help you arrange short- or long-term accommodation.

Many schools have residences (dormitories) for students on campus. Most schools have a bulletin board where people post off-campus rental opportunities.

Some schools offer homestay programs - in a homestay, you stay with a family. Generally, you have your own room and the family prepares all or some of your meals.
