If you haven't started researching housing in Seattle, now is a good time to do so. Some students choose to rent rooms or apartments around the immediate vicinity of their university, while others prefer to live in nearby neighborhood.

If you wish to go with an on-campus housing option at your university, it is important to apply very early, and if you choose to live at an off-campus location, you will need to start researching your options before you arrive. The links below can help you to choose between housing options and learn what you need to do in order to confirm your housing arrangement in Seattle.
