Cal America can arrange comfortable and safe place for our students. You can choose from American homestay family, apartment, dormitory, or hotel if you plan to stay for a short time. Deadline to request housing service for any type of hosing is strictly to 4 weeks prior to your arrival. However, it will be very helpful if you request a service as soon as possible, 6-8 weeks before your arrival is ideal, because some apartment or dormitory require that you read and sign contract in advance. Please also note that some type of hosing require deposit at the time we make arrangement.
