Housing and Homestay
OCC's International Center is responsible for housing information and services for all students.
OCC does not have on-campus housing. However, all students have access to a current
Apartment Listing for the surrounding area as well as a Housing Board* (please read disclaimer below)that includes rental listings for students seeking roommates or shared apartments.
Cards for advertising rooms for rent may be obtained through the International Center. You may also contact the International Center at 714-432-5940 or submit your housing card online. If you wish to submit your information online, please click here. International Center will post your listing for one month at no cost. You can simply contact the International Center to request that your card be renewed or removed.
As an international student, you can also choose to participate in a homestay program and live with a local family. If you are interested in a homestay program, you can directly contact one of the homestay agencies listed below for more information and pricing.
