and related items.

I-House special events and guests. Please contact dir@internationalhousedavis.org for more information.

Residence Halls
Undergraduate students
First-year students receive priority placement in the UC residence halls. After this priority group is housed, more advanced students can be placed. We encourage reciprocity students to apply to be listed on the EAP Reciprocity Student Waiting List and simultaneously research other housing options, as a residence hall housing contract offer cannot be guaranteed. Students should plan to begin their housing search as early as possible. Please remember a residence hall housing contract will commit you to living in university housing though the end of the academic year.
