LCC campus housing is available for international students aged 18 years or older. Students who are under the age of 18 or traveling with dependents (spouses or children) are responsible for securing their off campus housing. To live in campus housing, students must enroll in full-time study during the academic year. 

 Can I live off-campus?

International students bedroom. Light colored walls, with a twin sized bed and blue bed sheets. There is a desk to the left of the bed and storage bins and clothing baskets under the bed.

Yes, international students who live off-campus typically have family or friends nearby the college. It can be difficult for international students to secure an apartment on their own without a local connection, because of rental policies and cost of living in the United States. LCC is unable to advise or coordinate students off-campus living. LCC recommends international students live in campus housing, unless they have a secure place to live off-campus.

Can I live with a host family?

LCC does not facilitate a host family program during the academic school year. Prospective and incoming international students are encouraged to consider LCC Campus Housing or identify another off-campus option. There are occasions when the LCC host family program operates for students in short-term and exchange programs.
