On-campus:

Living on campus generally costs much less than off-campus alternatives. Two-thirds of on-campus accommodations are made up of Residential Halls (mostly double shared rooms). Meal plans are mandatory for residential halls and there is a wide selection of meal plans available. There are also one and two-bedroom apartments available on campus (mostly shared double rooms) with kitchen facilities. The cost of living in an apartment is, on average, the same as the residential halls.

Off-campus:

A comprehensive guide to living off-campus and listings of available residents is available at http://www.housing.hawaii.edu/och/.

Kalo terrace is a private and affordable apartment complex for students. For information go to http://www.campushousing.com/kaloterrace/

UH policy requires F-1 and J-1 students to have adequate health insurance for each term you are enrolled. Information on student health insurance sponsored by the University is available at http://www.hawaii.edu/issmanoa(click on health insurance). Students wishing to purchase another health insurance must receive a waiver of the insurance premium. The waiver form is available at http://www.hawaii.edu/issmanoa. You may purchase UH-sponsored health insurance on-line with your MasterCard or Visa credit card. 

Insurance coverage, which is equivalent to or better than UHM sponsored insurance, is acceptable. But you need approval in advance by receiving a waiver of the health insurance charge. Be aware that if you have foreign insurance and are unable to obtain the details of your plan in English and with US dollar coverage information, your plan cannot be approved. Complete the Alternative Health Insurance Waiver form at: http://www.hawaii.edu/issmanoa and submit to ISS for approval.
