Student-Arranged Housing

There are several other housing options available, ranging from third-party student housing providers to private accommodations located throughout London. Although USAC provides you with housing information, it is your responsibility to research and apply for housing separately, if you decide that you do not want to live in the program-arranged off-campus residence hall. Prices may vary considerably depending on your selection and location. Most of these options can be arranged for single or double occupancy. The more economical options go quickly, so it's in your best interest to start looking early.
