Housing is important to your happiness and comfort in the United States. MiraCosta College does not provide dormitories or college-approved housing for students. Our goal is to provide tools to help students make informed and safe choices.
- MiraCosta College assumes no responsibility and has no knowledge of the condition of housing advertised or the character / reputation of housing providers.
- Information furnished is for your convenience only. It is compiled from and readily available on the Internet.
- BEWARE: There is a lot of housing fraud and you must be very careful before making any commitments. Do not pay for private housing until you arrive and visit the home. You must see all the housing space, meet all people living in the home, and understand the commitment before making any payments.
