Housing

Domestic and international students enjoy a game of Jenga in the common room of their housing.
澳门六合彩官网直播's newest Living and Learning Community is called the Global and Languages Community. Located in Hadley Hall, the Community brings together domestic and international students, offers a communal cooking space and remains open during winter closure.

 

Undergraduate

Undergraduate American University Experience students are required to live on campus. Students should apply online for campus housing as soon as they have been accepted to 澳门六合彩官网直播 and have received their Bronco NetID and password. 

Please visit the 澳门六合彩官网直播 Housing and Residence Life site to apply for on-campus housing. Students may wish to read more about the residential neighborhoods before submitting their application. 

澳门六合彩官网直播's residence halls are home to nearly 5,000 students who enjoy the friendships, living-learning focus, and diversity of campus life. Residents can take advantage of hall activities, leadership opportunities, high-speed Internet, staff available 24 hours a day, close proximity to the dining halls, and many other campus conveniences designed to support busy college students.

 

Graduate

Graduate AUE students are strongly encouraged to live in University-sponsored (on-campus) housing during the program period. Although on-campus residency is not mandatory for graduate exchange students, please be advised that graduate students who opt to reside off campus bear sole responsibility for finding off-campus housing, contracting with private management companies and others, and abiding by conditions and terms. They may also find it difficult to lease an off-campus apartment for one or two semesters since most off-campus apartment leases are for a one-year (12-month) period. Breaking a lease is costly.


Please see above for more information on on-campus housing.

If graduate AUE students wish to live off-campus, they are encouraged to visit the website below for private apartment communities for more information: .
