Housing Referral
Students are responsible for securing their own accommodations. The ISC does not reserve or secure accommodations, but it can assist you with information regarding available housing opportunities.
On-Campus
If you wish to live on campus, you must contact the Office of Housing Administration and request a housing application.
Housing Applications must be filled out through your WebPortal. You must be admitted to the University before you can apply for housing.
All residence halls include a variety of meal plans.
Demand often exceeds supply, so request an application as soon as possible. The phone number is 619/594-5742 and their email is oha@mail.sdsu.edu

Approximately half the residents are from the United States and half are international students. Students get to know each other and share their cultures through a variety of social and educational programs.
Applying to I-House I-House is open to upper-division and graduate students. Selection for the program is competitive and based on student interest in community participation and cross cultural learning. Residents commit to be actively involved in the community. To apply, follow the instructions on the SDSU Office of Housing Administration websire.
Off-Campus

The Office of Housing Administration also offers resources which can assist you to find off-campus living accommodations, such as the Off-Campus Housing Locator Service . Most international students prefer to live off-campus in nearby apartments, rented houses, or private homes. In this case you will probably be required to sign a lease.
The cost for a one-bedroom unfurnished apartment is about $650 per month plus utilities;
a two-bedroom is about $850 per month. These are minimum rates; you could pay much more. Plan on arriving in San Diego several weeks in advance of the semester to locate housing within walking distance of SDSU.
