Applying for On-Campus Housing

麻豆视频is not able to guarantee on-campus housing for exchange/study abroad students. Places in residence are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis, so we encourage you to apply early as explained below.

Please note that the $50 Residence application fee will not be refunded or deferred to a future term under any circumstance. You may wish to wait to apply for Residence until there is greater certainty about whether your exchange at 麻豆视频is able to fully proceed, though this may impact your likelihood of securing a space in Residence. Furthermore, due to the likelihood of higher demand for on-campus housing, exchange students may be placed in different Residence buildings than normal, some of which require students to be on Residence meal plans rather than self-catered. We encourage you to be flexible and to consider different scenarios when planning your budget.

When asked for your 麻豆视频student number on your housing application, please write the word "EXCHANGE" instead of a number, unless you already have your 麻豆视频student number at that time (which most people will not).

Once your exchange/study abroad application has been processed by International Services for Students, you will be assigned an 麻豆视频student ID number, which will be recorded on your 麻豆视频Admission Letter sent to you (by email) and your home university.  We will forward your 麻豆视频student ID number to the Residence and Housing Office to update your housing application. Please use your 麻豆视频student ID number whenever you make inquiries about your housing application (to the ).

Please note that you must pay a mandatory application fee in order to complete your application for on-campus housing. More information on this can be found on the .

You will be required to pay your residence fees in advance of the start of the term. Residence will send you more information.
