Where can I stay when I first arrive in Chicago?
If you need temporary housing when you first arrive, here are nearby options that we recommend.

Can I live on campus? Can I live off campus?
Yes to both! Students in our Intensive English Program can live in UIC housing or off campus in apartments and lofts.

Is there a Homestay option?
Yes! Homestay host families provide a private bedroom, a private or shared bath, and different meal options.  The Tutorium does not arrange Homestay, but you can apply for Homestay yourself through Studentroomstay.com.
