Essential Information
As a participant on an Arcadia University program, you are guaranteed housing. Your program fee includes accommodation.
Arcadia University’s priority is to accommodate you in a place that will support your studies and enable you to experience the local culture. Accommodation is selected by Arcadia University based on these factors, as well as on safety, security, and cost. For these reasons, Arcadia reserves the right to alter or change accommodation options at any time.
To indicate your housing preferences, submit them using your Arcadia Passport. Before completing this form, you should review the information below as well as the Arcadia University Housing Policy in the Student Handbook. Students are welcome to submit one roommate request; however, requests must be mutual, and in writing. While we will work to honor your housing preferences and roommate requests, specific assignments cannot be guaranteed.

If you require accommodations for any special needs – including dietary, medical, or physical – you should indicate this in your Housing Preferences. Any information will be treated as confidential, and will only be shared with those individuals involved in your housing placement.

Program-Specific Housing Information
Graduate student accommodations may vary by term, and range from a house with shared common space to apartment-style accommodations. Accommodations are located a 15 or 25 minute walk from the Nyerere Centre and the National Natural History Museum (another classroom location), and are also within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and transportation. In most instances, bedrooms are shared. Linens (including mosquito nets) and cooking equipment are provided in all accommodations. Participants will be notified of the housing available during their term prior to departure.

Additional Points
Washers and dryers are not standard equipment in Tanzanian accommodation. Depending on the accommodation, a launderer may be made available to do laundry at the student’s expense, and students can purchase laundry soap in any of the nearby shops to wash items by hand as well.
Please also note that Tanzania is an environmentally friendly country, and air-conditioning and central heating are not standard in a typical residence. If your housing does not feature these amenities, remember that it will take some time for you to adjust to the climate.
Every room is different and unique and, while Arcadia ensures that all rooms satisfy general standards, there is no way to guarantee uniformity of apartment and room sizes, distance from your university, furnishings, or facilities. Arcadia reserves the right to alter or change accommodation options at any time should circumstances warrant.
