Housing

Inbound exchange students are allowed to live in UToledo residence halls. Between academic semesters when classes are not in session (for example, winter break), regular on-campus housing closes and all students are asked to move out until classes resume for the next semester. Temporary on-campus housing is available between semesters for a fee. 

On-campus housing information can be found at UToledo Office of Residence Life. 
For off-campus housing, see our Off-Campus Housing List.
