Housing Options for ALCI Students
As a new ALCI student, you must make your housing arrangements before you leave your home country. You must confirm your homestay, on campus apartment, or other housing before you arrive in San Marcos. The ALCI Office cannot reserve housing for you. Read the housing information below and click on the headings for more information about each kind of housing.
Homestay with Local Families
With this choice, you will live near campus with an American host family. Homestay includes breakfast and dinner, a bedroom (with a bed and a desk), a closet, a shared or private bathroom, and laundry facilities.
Campus Housing
University Village Apartments and the new Quad at San Marcos are modern apartments designed exclusively for students attending California State University San Marcos. If you will attend ALCI for one complete semester or a full academic year, you can apply to live in campus housing.
Off-campus Apartments
The local area offers many reasonably priced apartments. Students who want to live off campus are responsible for finding their own housing.
