The California International Business University does not provide student housing and the School assumes no responsibility to find or assist a student in finding housing. However, the staff of CIBU tries to provide limited assistance to students seeking suitable housing, and help them in their transition to life in San Diego
The San Diego area offers a wide variety of housing options where students will be able to find accommodations that best suit their needs and budgets.
Housing costs vary considerably depending on the type of accommodation selected by the student, i.e., houses, rooms in private homes, hotels, etc.
Typical rent is approximately:
- $600/month for a room in an American Home-stay
- $600 – $800/month in an apartment with one or two roommates
- $800 to $1000/month for a one-bedroom apartment
It is highly recommended in the student book that minimum of one month prior to arrival in either an American Home-stay or a downtown hotel (like Vantaggio, Island Inn or Maryland Hotel).
We hope the accommodations you obtain are safe and comfortable, and that you enjoy your stay in San Diego. If you have any questions, or need help finding housing or adapting to living in the area, please don’t hesitate to contact CIBU.
When dealing with private housing located from a private ad, it is
Highly recommended you do not send money in advance as scams have been reported in the past. Wait until you have a chance to see the apartment or house to send a deposit.
