Temporary Housing Upon Arrival in Iowa City
If you will arrive on campus before you have found permanent housing (or before you can move into permanent housing) research local hotel accommodations and make reservations, if necessary.

Area hotel accommodations
When making your reservation, be sure to ask about student discounts, transportation to campus, and, if necessary, the distance from the hotel to the nearest bus stop.

  • The Iowa House Hotel is University-operated and located on campus in the Iowa Memorial Union. The international student discounted rate is $30 (U.S. dollars) per person, per night, for a shared room. To receive the international student discount, show the Iowa House desk clerk your passport or your copy of the Iowa brochure called Important Information for New International Students (which you should have received after applying).
  • Other Area Hotels vary widely in price and location. Click here for a list provided by the Iowa City/Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau.
