Housing

Las Positas College, like most community colleges, does not offer on-campus housing; however, LPC has contracted with several providers to assist you including homestays and dormitories.

Dormitory

LPC has made an agreement with California State Univeristy, East Bay (CSU-EB) that allows students to live in student housing located on the CSU-EB campus in nearby Hayward. Public transportation is available to and from campus. Contact the International Student Office for more details and cost, or visit California State University East Bay Student Housing and Residence Life

Homestay

One of the best ways to improve your English and learn about American customs is to stay with an American family while studying here in the US. LPC has contracted with International Student Placement, ISP to assist students in finding safe and affordable housing in a quality, pre-screened, host home.  Other types of arrangements can be found in the community, including shared housing and individual apartments/houses. The cost varies depending upon the type of housing chosen. For further information, please contact International Student Placement.
