On-Campus Housing

You may request on-campus housing in Penn State's residence halls, but on-campus housing fills quickly. For more information, visit www.hfs.psu.edu/housing/firstyear/international.shtml. To add your name to the on-campus housing waitlist, use this Request for On-Campus Housing Form (PDF).

If you are assigned a room in on-campus housing, you must:

• Accept the housing contract.
• Pay the full amount before you move in.

  Send your payment to:
  Housing Assignment Office
  201 Johnston Commons
  University Park PA 16802 USA

• Get a meningococcal vaccination. This is state law. For more information and the form click here.
• Purchase a meal plan. Get more information about meal plans here.

Off-Campus Housing

It is your responsibility to find off-campus housing if on-campus housing is not available. We have a list of current IECP students also looking for housing if you want a roommate.

International Student Groups 
A student group associated with your nationality can be a good way to find potential roommates and learn about where to find housing.
