Living with your fellow classmates is one of the best parts of studying in the U.S. All first year University Bridge students live in the same community, and many students choose to stay for their second year. We believe this creates an atmosphere where you not only make friends, but support one another through a common goal. Our advisors stay close by, so we are always there if you need anything.
More Than Just Accommodations
There are many social events included with your housing: from meals out to trips to watch the NBA, from go-karting to cooking lessons, you can always keep busy. Your personal advisor is there to support you with anything you need, whether it is a trip to the doctor’s office, or help buying a car – we’ll always be there to help. Of course, academics always come first but UBridge is here to guide you on all aspects of your international education journey.
Housing Details
Our apartments at UBridge@IVC have many high-end facilities: swimming pool, BBQ area, hot tub, and gym. Each student will also receive a membership with access to several pools, tennis courts, a fishing lake and boating.
Each apartment has one or two bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen with all amenities, and a living/dining area. You will share a twin room with another UBridge student. Please note that single rooms may be available on request for a fee.
