THE ELP HIGHLY RECOMMENDS UNF HOUSING OR "FRASSATI", A PRIVATELY OPERATED STUDENT HOUSING.
ELP students are not required to live on campus, but they do have the option to fill out a housing contract to live in UNF housing during their study at the ELP.
Generally, students are responsible for arranging their own housing. Some popular options are apartment complexes near the campus as well as UNF housing. The English Language Program staff will help you understand your housing options.
For Fall 2017/Spring 2018 all residential first-year students will reside in the four first-year housing areas: Osprey Hall, Osprey Landing, Osprey Cove and Osprey Crossings.
Osprey Hall residents will reside within a double occupancy room. Private rooms will only be utilized to accommodate medical and disability needs as determined by the UNF Disability Resource Center.
Osprey Crossings residents will reside within primarily a double occupancy room. There may be a limited number of triple rooms available depending on enrollment. Private rooms will only be utilized to accommodate medical and disability needs as determined by the UNF Disability Resource Center.
Osprey Landing and Osprey Cove residents will reside within a triple occupancy room. Double and private rooms will only be utilized to accommodate medical and disability needs as determined by the UNF Disability Resource Center.
