Homestay for International Students near University of Miami

About University of Miami

The University of Miami is a private research university located in Coral Gables, Florida, one of the most prestigious institutions in the southeastern United States. The university offers more than 350 academic programs across undergraduate and graduate levels, spanning business, engineering, law, medicine, the arts, sciences, and more. Over 4,200 graduate students from more than 125 countries study at UM, reflecting the university's deeply international campus community. The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office supports F-1 and J-1 visa students through I-20 processing, immigration advising, orientation, and ongoing student services throughout their enrollment. While the University of Miami offers on-campus housing, it is limited primarily to undergraduate students, and many international students, particularly graduate students, arrange their own off-campus accommodations in the Coral Gables area.
