International Student Exchange
 Housing
Housing costs are not covered by the TU Partner Exchange agreement. Both on and off-campus options are available to exchange students although on-campus housing in the TU International House is highly recommended.
On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing is the most convenient option for visiting exchange students. Living on-campus allows for more interaction with US and other international students and easy access to activities & events. Housing in the Residence Tower (International House) is recommended for all students who select on-campus housing. To take a virtual tour of housing on the TU campus click here.
Visit the Housing and Residence Life webpage for more information including housing costs.
Students who do choose to live on-campus must also purchase a meal plan. Meals are not covered by the TU Partner Exchange agreement but must be purchased as part of the on-campus option. Students willl be automatically enrolled in the 10 meals per week Restricted Plan but may upgrade upon arrival. Meal plan charges will be billed to the student's TU account and must be paid upon arrival. Click here to find out more about dining services at TU and a list of meal plan options and costs.
Students who want to live on-campus should submit the following forms to the TU Study Abroad Office:
APPLICATION DEADLINES:
Spring: November 15
Fall/Academic Year: June 15
A deposit of $350 is required at the time of application to be paid by international money order or credit card using the Housing Deposit Form. At the end of the first semester, the $350 deposit will be credited to your TU student account for second semester housing charges.
Maintenance charges will be applied to your student account if the room is not maintained according to the housing contract. When you leave Towson University, any credit balance on your account will be refunded to you.
Off-campus Housing
Students wishing to live off-campus are responsible for securing their own housing and making payments according to the rental agreement.
The TU Office of Student Activities offers a free off-campus housing information service (a comprehensive list of available off-campus housing) for students seeking places to live. They also provide a listing of apartment complexes in Baltimore. Towson University does not screen, qualify, verify or otherwise accept responsibility for listings provided through this free service. Go to the Housing and Residence Life website to search the listings.
