Housing Options at UD
Housing is one of the most important parts of the experience of students in Academic Transitions (AT) with the English Language Institute at the University of Delaware.
This is because housing not only helps students to practice their English-language skills outside of the classroom, but it is also an amazing cultural experience!
All students in AT and in Pre-AT are required to live in one of the following housing options:
- Homestay (living with American hosts)
- ELI Global Community at The Waverly
- Residence halls
The housing type that is available to students may depend on their level in the program and the time of year when they start their AT program. Please see below for more information.
Important
Academic Transitions students who do not live in ELI-approved housing may lose their conditional admission to the University.

Students in AT or Pre-AT may live in homestays with Americans. This is a wonderful way to learn about American culture and families, as students and their hosts can share meals and participate in activities and outings together. Through these interactions, students and their hosts become like a family, truly caring for each other and building friendships that last a lifetime.
