Housing
There are a number of housing options for your stay. You can live on campus in a residence hall or an apartment, if available, or you can live off campus in an apartment or room. You can also choose to participate in a homestay program.
Please note that the UW International & English Language Programs office does not make housing arrangements. We recommend that you reserve housing as soon as possible before your arrival.

On-Campus Housing
Living on campus in a residence hall or apartment puts you at the center of university life, within easy walking distance of your classes and other campus locations.
