International Students and Scholars
Housing
We understand that finding good housing is important for you, as it will be your new home while you’re here at SIU. We are confident that you will be satisfied with the many options that you have to choose from.
Housing is divided into two categories: On-Campus/University Housing and Off campus Housing. Please note that all single freshmen under the age of 21, not living with a parent or a legal guardian, are required to live in SIUC University Housing. There are no restrictions for sophomores (26 hours), juniors (56 hours), seniors, students over the age of 21, veterans, or married students.
If you will be looking for Off Campus Housing once you arrive in Carbondale, the Office of International Students & Scholars can provide you with temporary housing for a limited time. Those of you that decide to live on campus should have your contract signed and a place reserved for you before you arrive. You must contact us as soon as possible if you know you will need temporary housing.
