HousingWhere can you live during your stay at the ELI?
We are happy to help you find a place to live while you are studying in Delaware. Several housing options are already available; however, the type of housing that you can choose may depend on your ELI program.
1. RESIDENCE HALLS - Academic Transitions students can live on campus in the University of Delaware residence halls (dormitories). The rooms are comfortable, furnished and air-conditioned. By living on campus, you can experience college living just like an American student. Staff is available to help with problems and arrange cultural programming. American students live on your floor, but your roommates will be other ELI students.
2. HOMESTAY - You can live with an American family. The ELI Homestay Coorinator finds families who are interested in having international students live in their homes. During your stay there, you will be treated like one of the family members, joining in on outings, traditions and daily family tasks.
3. APARTMENT - Live off-campus in an apartment in Newark. Students in Academic Transitions may live in the Global Community at The Retreat. Most apartments are within biking distance of campus and the ELI, or you can take the University’s free shuttle bus to travel between campus and your apartment.
4. INNternationale - The INNternationale is a residential and conference facility for international students, visiting professors and UD students interested in international living. ELI students who live in the INNternationale normally are mature professionals who are studying at the ELI for a short period of time.
