On-Campus Living
A residence hall is more than a room where you can rest your head in between classes. At OSU, a residence hall is a community. It’s a place where friendships, ideas and memories are created. All residence halls are conveniently located around campus. Each features high-speed Internet throughout the building, including wireless connections in each lounge.
Residence halls:
- House nearly 4,000 student residents
- Include furnished study areas, communal spaces and a main recreation lounge
- Are equipped with televisions, recreation rooms and kitchenettes
- Are smoke-free
- Contain wings/floors that are designated quiet or single-gender
- Are located minutes from the center of campus life
- Provide free self-service laundry
Homestay
The homestay program offers a home away from home. OSU has a network of carefully selected homestay hosts who welcome international students into their homes. You live as part of the family in either a shared or private bedroom, experiencing the day-to-day life of your host. The program is limited in availability, and students participating must meet the following criteria:
- Students must fill out an online student homestay application.
- The homestay program is completely smoke-free. Students who participate in the homestay program must not be smokers.
- Students must be comfortable living with any family type including single parents. Many of our hosts have small children or pets, and others may be single-parent households. All families are considered equally when assigning students.
- Students must be comfortable taking public transportation to get around Corvallis. Our hosts may live within 15-20 minutes from campus as very few families live within very close proximity to OSU. Students who wish to live closer to campus may be more interested in our on-campus residence halls.
