Housing Information

International students at Shoreline Community College are encouraged to begin their experience in the United States by doing a "homestay", which means living with a local, American family. The homestay environment can provide additional support with cultural adjustment, airport pick-up and facilitate language learning.

Shoreline recommends two organizations called ABODE and USA International, Inc. If you are admitted to the College, you will find a homestay application inside the admitted student packet that we send you.

You are also encouraged to contact the organizations directly.

Shoreline Community College is a non-residential campus, which means that students commute to school from private homes or apartments in the local community. International Education can assist international students by informing them about what to expect, what kinds of questions to ask, and what to look for in searching for housing.

For non-homestay options, you can search online for available rentals:
