What kind of housing options are available for international students?

SFU offers on-campus housing for SFU students. Please note that SFU housing offers are limited and sent on a first-come, first-served basis. If you plan to live in SFU Residence, please make sure that you apply as soon as possible. You don’t have to be admitted to SFU yet to apply to SFU Residence: however, housing offers will be sent only to admitted students based on the original date of the housing application, so we encourage you to apply early!

If you wish to live off-campus, please see this page for more information on where to find housing and your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. Housing in Metro-Vancouver is very competitive so please allow yourself sufficient time to find a suitable living space.
