Housing Options
The Village
Columbia International University has a mobile home village which contains 85 lots. This village is located on campus property and is accessible by car from Frost Avenue. It is connected to the main campus by paved walkways through a wooded area.
Of the 85 lots, 22 contain rental homes owned by the university. These homes have either two or three bedrooms. Each home has laundry connections and is furnished with a stove and a refrigerator. The rental units are available to married students who are either part or full time students. They are not assigned on a first-come, first-served basis; priority is given to those with the greatest need. Those interested must complete a village application. These applications are reviewed a few months before each semester and applicants are informed if a unit is available for them.
All rental rates include trash collection, but all other utilities are the responsibility of the renter. The utilities bills are paid to CIU on a monthly basis.
The remaining 63 lots contain homes owned by current students or employees. Each semester some of these homes are available for sale to current or incoming students. All current homes for sale are included in the off-campus housing list. The Student Life Office should be contacted before purchasing a mobile home in the Village.
Pets are only allowed in the owned homes, may be no larger than 24 inches at the head, and must be kept indoors.
Living in a mobile home may not be conducive to those with strong allergies.
