Housing
It is very important that you find temporary or permanent housing before you arrive at PSU!
Option 1 - On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing is NOT guaranteed, so you are encouraged to research your housing options as early as possible. Please read
the Contract Terms and Conditions carefully before applying to on-campus housing. Please visit
the University Housing and Residence Life's (UHRL) website to find out more about PSU on-campus housing and submit an application through
the PSU Housing Portal.
The official move-in date for on-campus housing during Summer term is June 22. Please contact the University Housing and Residence Life (UHRL) if you wish to move in early. If you don't make any arrangements with them, please make sure to plan ahead and have a place to stay (homestay, hotel or other short term housing) before the move-in date.
Option 2 - Host Families
Homestays are a great way to learn more about U.S. culture! PSU does not offer homestays, but some of the international students have used services through two homestay organizations:
FOCUS and
ACES. Check out our
Housing Resources for PSU International Students website for more information.
Option 3 - Off-Campus Housing
We have many resources available to help students find off campus housing. You can find out more through our
Housing Resources for PSU International Students website and a Canvas course called
"Living in the City of Roses". Once you're registered for our orientation and assigned an international student mentor, you can contact them or our office for assistance.
