On-Campus Housing

Seattle Central offers on-campus housing for international students of Seattle Colleges in The Studios on Broadway. While the studios are located across the street from Seattle Central's main classroom building, they are open to students attending any of the three campuses. They provide shared housing for nearly 80 students. To live in the on-campus apartments, you must be at least 17 years of age by the move-in date and responsible enough to live on your own.

All units come furnished with a bed, a desk, a chair, and clothing storage for each resident. Apartments feature high-speed internet and can be connected with phone or television service by request. Each unit has a main room to serve as a shared living space, as well as a sleeping area with a window. The studios include a kitchen with a stove and a refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower, and a storage area.

A meal plan is not included, but the studios are within walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants. You can also eat at on-campus restaurants and cafés during college operating hours.
