Be sure to mention Long Beach City College when you reserve a room to take advantage of the discount rate. To ensure that there will be a room for you, you should make your reservations before arriving. The College can make arrangements for you to stay with a local family. We cannot arrange for stays of less than five months. Host families can be single people with a room to rent, families with young children, children your age, or grown children.
Some families have two parents, some have only one.
Host families live within busing, biking or walking distance from the college. Monthly rent ande deposits are made directly to the host family. If you would like to live with a host family, please fill out the Homestay Application as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made for you before your arrival date. There are many apartments available close to the college. Most apartments are unfurnished and require a minimum 6-month lease.
