Housing applications are currently open on WebSTAC. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. You must activate your WUSTL Key before you can apply for housing.

Once in your account, locate the "Housing" tab, select "Applications," then click on the drop-down menu and click on "Spring Application." It will be necessary to complete all sections of the application. The final step is to submit the application. This will result in changing your application status to complete.

If you are having trouble with the housing application, please contact Rhonda Kiely at Residential Life.

Where you will live while studying at WashU is an important decision.

WashU Residential Life (ResLife) offers a variety of housing options for exchange students. Below are the most chosen options.

• Traditional residential college communities located on the South 40. Mostly single and double rooms.
• Residential communities on campus on the Northside in the following residence halls: Village, Village East, and Millbrook Apartments.
• Residential communities in off-campus apartments in the Lofts, Washington Avenue, Greenway, and Rosedale apartments.

For more information about housing, visit the Residential Life website.

Some students choose not to live in ResLife housing. Below are the most common non-ResLife housing options:



• Sublease a Leased Apartment
• Apartments can be subleased through Quadrangle, a company owned by Washington University or an independent property owner. You can find available apartments through the WashU Apartment Referral Service.
• Lease an Apartment through Quadrangle
• This option is mainly for graduate students, but undergraduate students may find apartments through the Quadrangle website.
• Alternative Options
• Some students have found accommodations with property companies such as Parallel Properties or local property owners. 

You are required to purchase a meal plan. WashU offers a wide variety of dining options. Visit Dining Services to learn about meal plan options. Please note that the off-campus meal plan applies to students living off-campus in Residential Life or non-Residential Life housing. If you live in Village East, Millbrook, or an apartment, you are eligible for the apartment meal plan.

• During orientation, you will be provided with meals and a meal card as your meal plan will not be active until January 12.
• All dining options on campus are declining balance, meaning you will use your meal points to pay for each item by the price indicated. If you run out of meal points at any point during the semester you can add Bear Bucks to continue using your campus card at dining locations. For more information about the Bear Bucks system, visit Campus Card Services.
