Housing
We do not offer on-campus housing. UCI only guarantees housing for freshmen and Ph.D. students. However, there are off-campus apartments available to offer a convenient living environment as well as the opportunity to meet, study, and interact with full-time UC Irvine students and other students visiting from around the world.
We work with a local vendor called Kapi Residence. You have the option to contact them for furnished off-campus housing.
