EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND INTERNATIONALIZATION OFFICE T his off-campus housing brochure aims to help our INTERNATIONAL CENTER international students find a housing facility that is suita- ble to their needs and one that will more or less satisfy their requirements in terms of safety, security, and avail- able amenities. The University Housing Committee regularly visits and accredits these housing facilities to ensure that stu- dents’ safety and welfare are guaranteed. Those that are marked with asterisk (*) are the accredited off- campus residences of DLSU. There are also other con- dominiums in this brochure that are located within the 200-meter radius of DLSU, however the DLSU Commit- tee is yet to visit these condominiums for accreditation. Students should exercise good judgment in choosing a place which will serve as their second home while stud- ying at DLSU. The decision in choosing which housing facility is most suitable and convenient rests on the international stu- dents as well as their parents or guardians. Students are advised to seek guidance from parents or guardians International Students’ Guide to when finally deciding which residence facility to rent. Always be vigilant and exercise caution when renting a place. Some helpful tips and reminders before, during and after finding a residence facility can be found in Off-Campus this brochure. Finally, remember to contact the building administra- tor, manager or the landlord, inspect the premises, and select the most suitable accommodation that will best Residences serve your needs before making the final decision.
