Housing
One of the most important things you will need to take care of before you start your studies in the United States is finding a place to live. It is especially important to consider location in selecting your housing. If you live farther than walking distance from the campus, it may prove to be inconvenient unless you are close to public transportation or you have a car. Valencia College offers on-campus housing at our Downtown Campus. For students taking IEP and EAP, campuses may have limited course offerings. Inquire about these before committing to housing.
