Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) is a private Christian university located on a 90-acre campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego, California. The university offers undergraduate degrees in over 60 fields of study, as well as graduate programs in education, business, nursing, and more. PLNU's Office of Multicultural and International Student Services supports F-1 and J-1 visa students through I-20 processing, immigration advising, orientation, and ongoing visa compliance throughout their enrollment. While PLNU is primarily a residential campus with on-campus housing options, availability can be limited, and many international students, particularly graduate and transfer students, arrange their own off-campus accommodations in the San Diego area.
USH offers homestay accommodation for international students attending Point Loma Nazarene University. Everything is included in one flat monthly rate: your furnished private room, Wi-Fi, utilities, and an English-speaking American host family. No lease to sign. No furniture to buy. Just arrive and settle in.
Point Loma is one of the most beautiful and welcoming neighborhoods in San Diego, perched above the Pacific Ocean with stunning views and a strong sense of community. Your host family is your first real connection to life in the area, helping you navigate San Diego, find your way to campus, and practice English every day in a natural home environment. For international students arriving in Southern California for the first time, that local presence and daily immersion from day one makes a real difference.
Short stays of 4 weeks and longer stays are both available, so your housing near PLNU matches your program length exactly. Airport pickup is available upon request. Contact our office for details.
