Finding an Apartment as an International Student

March 25, 2025

Moving to a new country for school is an exciting adventure, but it also comes with plenty of challenges, one of the biggest being where to live. As an international student, you want a home that feels comfortable and well-connected to campus. The right housing can make all the difference in your experience, helping you focus on academics, meet new friends, and enjoy your time abroad. That’s why The Den is the perfect place to call home during your time at the University of Connecticut.

What to Look for in Housing as an International Student

Finding the right place to live goes beyond just having a roof over your head. Here are some key factors to consider:

Proximity to Campus

Being close to your university is essential for making it to class on time, attending campus events, and connecting with fellow students. The Den offers two convenient locations:

• The Den at Cedar Ridge – Just 10 minutes from University of Connecticut, with a private shuttle for easy transportation.

• The Den at Hunting Lodge – Only 5 minutes away, with access to the University of Connecticut Bus Line.

No need to worry about long commutes or expensive rides—getting to and from campus is a breeze!

Fully Furnished & Flexible Leasing Options

As an international student, you might not want to deal with the hassle of buying and moving furniture. At The Den, you can choose between furnished and unfurnished options, making your move-in process seamless. Plus, with individual leasing, you only pay for your space, not your roommates’—giving you peace of mind.


Included Utilities & Hassle-Free Living

Understanding utility bills in a new country can be confusing. At The Den, your rent includes Internet, Water, Garbage, Sewage, and Gas, with an easy $79 monthly fee covering electricity. This means no surprise bills and no stress about setting up accounts—just move in and focus on what matters.


A Welcoming Community

Adjusting to a new culture and meeting new people is easier when you live in a vibrant student community. The Den offers a friendly, diverse atmosphere where you can connect with students from all over the world. Community events, shared amenities, and study-friendly spaces make it easy to form friendships and feel at home.
