Housing
All incoming students should secure housing before arriving in the U.S. UTEP/OIP does not offer temporary housing, so if you do not have a place to live when you arrive, you may need to stay in a local hotel until you find housing.
Students who are coming from abroad, especially those who are not familiar with the El Paso area, are strongly advised to look into on-campus housing for at least their first year at UTEP.
