Housing

The University does not have dormitory facilities under its control. Housing is the responsibility of the student. There are many apartments for rent within a 1 to 10 mile radius. Many are within walking distance. Single bedroom apartments may cost $900 to $2,100 per month or more. Many families have rooms for rent from $600 to $800 per month.

For F-1 international students who wish to find housing near IAU, International Student Services (ISS) can assist you with locating a local American homestay or assist you in finding an appropriate place to live ([email protected]).

ISS also provides information about the local neighborhoods, including popular restaurants, shopping areas, parks and recreation, and public transportation.

Homestay

Homestay Options:
  1. Korea Daily
  2. Radio Korea
  3. CORT
  4. StudentRoomStay

A homestay is a unique opportunity for international students to live with a local American host family. In addition to providing an affordable private room with an option of two meals per day or access to the kitchen, the program gives students a chance to experience American culture from a first-hand perspective and build cross-cultural friendships. To learn more, please see SRS homestay flyer.

What can I expect from my Host?

You can expect your homestay host to be kind, show care for you, interact with you, provide guidance, and help you improve your conversational English speaking skills through practice. You are usually provided meals. Frequency may vary. Your room will be furnished, have good lighting, and have an area for you to study or prepare for your day.

IAU does not endorse or recommend to students or others any homestay agency or any other off-campus rental property. IAU has made no independent investigations of, and accepts no responsibility for, the safety or other condition of those properties. No special referral or incentive arrangement exists between the IAU and any homestay agency or outside property, and the IAU expressly disclaims giving any guarantees, warranties, or any other representations about such properties, including their safety. Students or others who arrange for housing through a homestay agency or otherwise live off-campus must make their own personal choices with regard to the selection of living accommodations, and should individually investigate the safety and condition of any homestay arrangement or rental property. Homestay agencies and off-campus properties are provided as an information service only.
