Apartments
Seattle Central’s downtown location is ideal for students interested in living in an apartment. The campus is within a 15 minute walk of over 25 apartment buildings in all price ranges, ages, and sizes.
Homestay
A homestay is an opportunity to experience American life firsthand and is a very popular housing choice for our incoming students. Students in a homestay see life in the U.S. from "the inside", and can start a friendship with a family that may last for many years. Living with a host family is not just a housing option; it is a cultural experience!
Most host families live in the suburbs of Seattle, giving our students the opportunity to get a different perspective on American life than what they get from their experience on our downtown Seattle campus. Some students spend only a couple of months with their host families, and others may stay two years or more. We encourage students to take advantage of the homestay option for at least a few months during their stay in the United States.
