Temporary Housing
When you arrive in Columbia you will need to locate temporary accommodations until you find something more permanent. Because MU does not offer temporary accommodations, each student & scholar is responsible for arranging his or her own temporary housing. Options you might consider include:
- Staying with current students & scholars - Sometimes the various international organizations can assist you with temporary housing. Please contact the organizations directly for more information.
- Hotel - You can find many hotels in the Columbia area by visiting the Columbia Convention & Visitors Bureau Web site. If you are not staying near the campus, you will have to make arrangements to get around town while settling in (for example: taxi, rental car). There is some public transportation in Columbia, so you may want to ask the hotel you are staying at if they are on a bus route.

Permanent Housing
- On-Campus - On-campus housing options include Residence Halls and University Student Apartments. Information about living on-campus should have been mailed to you automatically after you applied to MU. Information is also available on the Residential Life Web site. If you plan to live on-campus, you must submit a housing application along with a deposit to hold your room. Be sure to review Residential Life's advice about moving to MU.
- Off-Campus - You can search for roommates and learn more about off-campus housing on the Mizzou Wellness Resource Center's off-campus living Web site or search for apartments at http://columbiamo.apartmentfinder.com/. Another resource for finding off-campus housing is http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/. On this Web site, you can search for housing, furniture, and other supplies in the Columbia community.
The Internaitonal Center has a Facebook page for International Student Services that also posts housing opportunities. On Facebook, search "Mizzou International Student Services." Then click on "Discussions" and "Housing."
