Students Who Will Live On-Campus
Although University Residence Halls officially open later, international students who will be attending International Student Orientation and who have made arrangements to live on campus will be permitted to check in to their residence halls beginning on Monday, January 4 from 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. No check-ins will be permitted before January 4. There will be a charge for early check-in; the charge is $35 per night and will be billed directly to your student account. Further information pertaining to residence hall check-in will be sent to you after initial room assignments have been made.
If you choose to stay in the residence halls during International Student Orientation, be aware that the halls will not be officially open and, therefore, there will be few students staying there and limited residence hall staff to assist you. If you need a lot of people around you in order to feel comfortable, you might want to consider other alternatives, such as a hotel.
Important Reminders about On-Campus Housing Applications
The Residential Operations Office plans to send housing information electronically to international students and will use the e-mail address you provided on your admissions application for that purpose. If you do not receive your housing information by Friday, January 1, feel free to contact the Residential Operations Office by telephone at (716) 645-2171, by e-mail at ub-reshalls@buffalo.edu or by fax at (716) 645-3968.
The deadline to cancel room assignments and receive a $200 housing deposit refund is December 1, 2009. However, if you decide not to live in the residence halls after that date, please inform the Residential Operations Office before December 11, 2009 so that your room can be assigned to another student and you wil not be charged for the room..
Students Who Will Live Off-Campus
If you choose not to live on campus, we urge you to make temporary housing arrangements prior to your arrival in Buffalo. We do not recommend arriving on campus with lots of luggage and no place to spend the night as it is very difficult to find permanent housing in one day. Should you need temporary accommodations prior to January 4 or during International Student Orientation, a list of hotels can be found in the booklet entitled New International Student Guide, which is included in your acceptance packet. Note: The University at Buffalo has no temporary housing for incoming students.
