International students are required to live in an approved program residence. Choosing where to live while studying for your degree is important – and indicating your accommodations preferences early is a required step in the enrollment process.
Please note that while housing is guaranteed, we cannot promise we will be able to match each student with their preferred housing option. Due to limited availability of on-campus housing, our campus adjacent option is available at this time.
Students assigned to Premium Campus Adjacent Housing will not be billed for a meal plan. Students can purchase a meal plan through this website before arrival or on arrival to campus: https://dineoncampus.com/fiu
Please note that Your selections are preferences, not a final housing selection.
