Due to local health guidelines, you will likely be placed in single room housing. Please contact the Program Advisor for more information.

Summer, Semester and Yearlong Program (London Metropolitan University)

Shared Apartments (Summer)

Off-campus housing will be available to USAC students that is arranged by London Met's study abroad office and a local housing provider. Housing will feature single rooms in shared apartments. Housing is limited in London, so we highly encourage you to take advantage of this option.

Off-campus Residence Hall (Semester/Yearlong)

Off-campus Residence Hall

Off-campus housing is arranged by London Met's study abroad office and a local housing provider. Housing is limited and is allocated on a first come, first served basis. This housing option is a flat (apartment) shared with approximately five other students. It’s a 10-minute walk from London Met’s main Holloway Campus and includes Wi‐Fi, personal property insurance, all utilities, basic bedding, kitchen items, communal launderette, and 24/7 security. Housing is limited in London, so we highly encourage you to take advantage of this option.

Student Arranged Housing Option (Semester/Yearlong)

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.

Summer Program (Imperial College)

Residence Hall

Located in the Quadrangle along with the Imperial College Union, Beit Hall offers great amenities close to class.

Students will be assigned accommodation in fully furnished rooms in residence halls, located approximately five minutes from campus. Most rooms will be shared (double occupancy), but a small number of private rooms may be available. Each hallway has shared bathrooms and showers. There is no kitchen access and there are no refrigerators in the rooms, but meal plan options are available and there are catering outlets and restaurants nearby.

The residence halls are located in South Kensington, one of the safest and most attractive areas of London. Hyde Park is only a ten-minute walk away. There is a small market nearby for groceries, as well as many cafes and restaurants in the surrounding area.
