Temporary Housing
Expect to spend several days in temporary housing before locating and settling into a more permanent arrangement. For visitors staying less than one-year, finding a month-to-month apartment can be difficult and short-term contracts are usually more expensive than a regular lease. You may contact the property managers to see if they would consider a short-term lease or month-to-month contract.
- Visit Corvallis or Oregon Welcome Centers list temporary places to stay.
- The Crossroads Three-Day Homestay Program (Corvallis) is a program for new international visitors to live with a Corvallis host family while you get started in your new life at OSU.
- USA Homestays (Western & Central Oregon) places international students and scholars into local homes and plans local trips.
