Welcome International Students
Welcome to Iowa State University's Department of Residence and your Cyclone home! We have many housing options that will make your stay comfortable and convenient. Living on campus will give you the time you need to focus on academics and other interests.
Housing Open All Year
There are three neighborhoods open all 12 months of the year including winter break. Buchanan Hall is a furnished residence hall located on the south side of campus. Rooms are designed for one or two people with two rooms sharing a bathroom. Kitchenettes are available on most floors. Frederiksen Court Apartments, located on the north side of campus, house four students of the same gender in two or four bedroom fully-furnished apartments. Each unit has a living area, kitchen, and washer/dryer. SUV Apartments, located north of Frederiksen Court, are two-bedroom units available for families or single students and are the most cost-effective on-campus housing option. Most units are unfurnished, but all apartments have full kitchens.
Housing Open During the Academic Year
If you're looking for a more traditional residence hall experience, consider Linden Hall. Linden Hall is open over the winter break but is not open during the summer months.
Explore all of your on-campus housing options to find the one that is right for you. On-campus living is convenient and keeps you connected to the Iowa State community. We look forward to having you live with us!
