International Student Housing

Housing Disclaimer: Like most U.S. community colleges, Diablo Valley College does not have on-campus housing. We do not provide nor are responsible for any off-campus housing services. However, there are many off-campus housing options for international students near each college. These include unfurnished and furnished apartments, rooms for rent, and living with a family (Homestay). Housing information is offered solely for the convenience of students. DVC and the International Students Office are not responsible or liable for the services offered by the various outside entities.

General Housing

Various types of housing are posted by the Student Life Office. This is open to all students at DVC. The student must get the information from the Student Life Office and make the calls on their own. The ISO office does not provide information to this housing board and it is maintained by the Student Life Office located in the Student Union Building.

Homestay

Students can be placed with local hosts in the surrounding community which carefully screens and selects its hosts to ensure that students are living in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. Living in a homestay allows international students to learn more about American culture and develop a close relationship with their local host. It also provides students with an English-speaking environment to continually improve their language skills.

Please visit our District International Housing page for more specific information related to each homestay option.
