Will you be living in WSU housing, or in off-campus housing?

WSU Housing (residence hall, student apartment, etc.)

Off-Campus Housing (private apartment, rental house, etc.)

I have not secured housing yet

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SECURE HOUSING/ACCOMODATION BEFORE YOU ARRIVE TO CAMPUS. If you arrive without housing, you will need to pay at least $100 per night in a hotel until you secure long-term housing. Additionally, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND A HOTEL ROOM when you arrive due to the high volume of students and their families arriving at the same time for the start of the term. If you have questions of how to secure housing, please contact your new student coordinator.

As you go through the process of securing off-campus housing at WSU, please be sure to educate yourself on renting in the United States and at WSU. We highly suggest that you do not transfer any money or sign any contracts before you arrive to town. The best option is to be in contact with your leasing company as much as possible before your arrival, while making payments and signing contracts upon arrival.
