Apartment Living

Many students enjoy living in a private apartment off-campus. The university is surrounded by many apartments that are within walking distance of the campus and shopping. Additionally, Bakersfield has a public transportation system, and many of the roads have bicycle lanes for easy bicycling in the city.

International Students and Programs Office does not make apartment arrangements for students. A local one-bedroom unfurnished apartment ranges in cost depending on the location, size, and quality. First-time renters may be required to pay deposits for start-up of utility services.

Note: All housing prices are subject to change. CSUB Housing is subject to availability.

Homestay Program

Homestay programs are available for students who wish to live with an American family and fully immerse themselves in the American culture. The family setting offers a great opportunity for students to experience American traditions and customs.

Students may share a bedroom and / or bathroom with another student or family member. Two to three meals are usually provided each day. Transportation between home and CSUB may be provided depending on the arrangement with the Homestay provider.

Students wishing to participate in the Homestay Program should complete the Student Homestay Application at this site: www.homestaynetwork.com
