Housing

Our Center for International Education (CIE) Housing office helps individual students with a variety of housing options, including homestay, apartments and dormitories (summers only). If you would like more information or assistance in finding housing, please contact us at +1 (530) 757-8988 or ciehousing@ucdavis.edu.

Homestay

With a homestay arrangement you will live with a local family and experience an American family lifestyle. There are many benefits to being placed with a homestay host family. The cultural experience is unmatched by any other residential placement and is an excellent way to expand your cultural and educational experience.

Homestay housing arrangements are not one-size-fits all. You can choose to have your own room or you can share a room with another student. You can eat all or some of your meals with your host family. Or, you can choose to take care of all of your meals on your own. You choose the situation that best meets your needs.

Renting a Room in a Private House or Apartment

Many Davis families and student groups rent out rooms in their own homes for approximately $450-$650 per month. Renting a room is an excellent opportunity to live with others who are not part of the International Programs. Students can make these arrangements on their own once they arrive in Davis. For a preview of what might be available, check the "Community Housing Listing," offered by the Associated Students of UC Davis at http://chl.ucdavis.edu (click on "view our listings").

Dormitories (summer quarter only)

Dormitories (conveniently located near the UC Davis campus) are often open to international students during the summer. Students share a room with one other student. Rooms come equipped with two beds, dressers and desks. Meals are provided in the campus dining halls, and membership at the Activities and Recreation Center is included.

Community Housing Providers

Students may also work directly with housing providers in the community. Community housing and provider resources include:
