Exchange & Visiting students at UDLAP are commonly housed in a double occupancy room in our residence halls (Colegios Residenciales). All our residence halls have a secure swipe-card entry system and 24 hour security presence, 7 days a week. Residences are fully furnished and equipped with laundry facilities and common areas. Wireless internet access throughout.

We have 4 residence halls from which students can choose: Cain Murray, Ray Lindley, Ignacio Bernal and José Gaos. All of them are ideally located for easy access to academic, sport and recreational facilities.

To be considered for on-campus housing, students must submit a housing application that will be provided after you have been accepted as an exchange/visiting student at UDLAP.

International students will be placed in an on-campus suite which they will share with 7 other students. The rooms within the suite are shared (2 students per room). Suites are equipped with a kitchen, living room, bathroom/shower facilities, and washer/dryer. Please note that kitchen utensils will not be provided.

Once a residential college reservation has been made, it cannot be cancelled and housing deposits will not be refunded.

The average age range of students living on campus is 18-20 and the entire UDLAP campus is dry (no alcohol or drugs are allowed anywhere on campus). Students aged 20 or older often opt to live off-campus. Off-campus housing is available in the Cholula area.
