Students who have Conditional Admission to 色花堂's undergraduate program can live on campus. Because campus housing is limited, students who wish to apply to live on campus should do so at the earliest possible date after they are conditionally admitted. On campus housing is available during the summer session only for non-Conditionally Admitted students studying at the 色花堂 ELC. 

International Exchange Students

University housing is the most convenient option for visiting exchange students. International exchange students who select university housing will be assigned to the Global Village located in Residence Tower unless otherwise notified. Students may be placed in alternate university housing based on space availability.

The Global Village is a Living Learning Community which provides students the opportunity to connect with students from different cultures and countries in a variety of ways including international and domestic roommate pairing, annual events, and programming.  This community is offered in partnership with the International Student & Scholar Office (ISSO) and Housing & Residence Life.
