Manchester housing:

It is important to apply for housing as soon as possible. 

You apply for your housing online, after an acceptance letter from Manchester has been issued with a UID number. It is essential that once an online application has been submitted that you check emails on a regular basis as an offer is only held for a very short period of time.

Students cannot be guaranteed a specific hall or type of accommodation but can indicate a preference between self-catered or catered hall.

If you have questions regarding housing, it is best to contact your housing provider directly. Gies Global Programs has no authority over host university policy and procedure. If it is a situation where you are not getting a response, please let us know. 

Prior to arrival to campus, check with your housing provider to inquire about the earliest move-in date. If you plan to arrive early and are using university housing, you may be required to pay an extra fee for early move-in or may need to find other accommodations. Make sure to check the time that the housing office will be open for check-in.

Regardless of what housing you choose, be sure to arrange it before arriving on campus.

Illinois housing:

• If you are studying abroad for only one semester, you may need to sublease your Champaign-Urbana apartment or find a sublease for yourself for the semester you’ll be on campus. 

• Post on the study abroad housing board (this link can also be found on the study abroad website under "Support Resources")

• Use this housing board to find a semester sublease for yourself or to advertise your sublease to incoming exchange students.

• If you are living in UIUC housing, notify the housing department that you will be studying abroad. We can provide a confirmation letter, if needed.
