Living on-campus, off-campus, or with an American family can be an exciting and enriching part of your SDSU experience. Whatever option you choose, you'll find a true sense of community at your San Diego home.
Aside from the obvious benefits and convenience, your accommodation choice will provide important academic and cultural benefits as well! If you have any questions or need information regarding the many additional off-campus housing options, please contact the ALI Housing Office (alihousing@mail.sdsu.edu).

Important: ALI students who plan to enroll at San Diego State University (SDSU) as first-time freshmen when they complete their ALI program should know that SDSU requires all first-time freshmen who graduated from a high school outside the local service area (including all foreign high schools) to live on-campus. For details, see www.sa.sdsu.edu/housing/exemptions.html.
Please keep in mind that if you sign a lease that covers the period of time you will be a first-time freshmen, you will still be required to live on campus. No exemptions will be granted.
