Family Housing: 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments, completely unfurnished. Radford Court: Unfurnished apartments located three miles northeast of UW are available for single students, couples, and families. Students must indicate their interest in living on campus at the time of application. Once, admitted, student s must apply by the stated deadline: http://hfs.washington.edu

Off-campus:

There are many apartments and shared houses available in the area surrounding the University of Washington. Housing can generally be divided into two categories: Shared and Non-shared. Non-Shared might include a one bedroom or a studio (one large room with a separate bathroom) apartment. Shared housing might be a room in a house or part of an apartment where you would share things like the kitchen and bathroom. Some studios in the lower price ranges may have shared bathrooms on the same floor.

Information on off-campus housing can be obtained from the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) and the Off-Campus Housing Affairs (OCHA) Office at http://housing.asuw.org/.

Other local resources for finding housing include:

The Seattle Times (http://marketplace.nwsource.com/classified/rent/) and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer Classifieds sections (http://marketplace.nwsource.com/rentals/) are a good resource. Listed by neighborhood, they come out each day. The early Sunday edition available on Saturday is your best resource with the latest listings. Renttech.com is a paid service that offers hundreds of easily searchable listings for housing. You can designate you price range and type of housing, and Renttech.com will email you listings as they become available. This service costs approximately $75 for three months of access.

All students who attend US universities on exchange are required to purchase the health insurance recommended by their host university as part of the registration process. In addition, they can also purchase additional optional insurance from a private insurer for their term of study overseas. These short term optional insurance plans cover events such as personal accident, accidental medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation etc. As an exchange student, you are eligible to apply for an insurance waiver if you have comparable insurance that is valid in the US. Please note that you will still need to select UW Accident and Sickness Insurance when you first register. Once your waiver has been approved, then the ISO will remove the insurance charge from your account. For more information please go to http://iss.washington.edu/health-insurance#toc2 and select "Insurance Waiver."

Submission of Measles Immunization is required.
