Housing and Meals

Students will be placed in on-campus dormitories. The housing office makes an effort to ensure that international students are distributed evenly throughout the campus so that they have a chance to meet local students as well. Depending on the residence hall you may have a self-contained unit with a small kitchen or you may have a cafeteria in your dormitory with a meal plan. Students will prepare their own meals, or buy them in the campus cafeteria or nearby restaurants. The University of Notre Dame will provide a stipend for this purpose.
