Long Beach City College (LBCC) is a public community college located in Long Beach, California, in the Los Angeles South Bay coastal area, approximately 23 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. The college offers associate degree programs, transfer pathways to four-year universities, and career and technical education. LBCC's International Student Services department enrolls F-1 visa students from countries around the world.
USH offers homestay accommodation for international students attending Long Beach City College. Everything is included in one flat monthly rate — your furnished room, Wi-Fi, utilities, and an English-speaking American host family. No lease to sign. No credit history needed. No furniture to buy. Just arrive and settle in.
Long Beach is one of the most vibrant cities in Southern California — a coastal city with a relaxed beach lifestyle, a diverse international community, and easy connections to the rest of Los Angeles. LBCC does not offer on-campus housing, which means all students need to arrange their own accommodation. Most local apartments require a 6-month lease, furnished rooms are rare, and setting up utilities from abroad is complicated. Homestay solves all of that from day one, giving you a comfortable, fully equipped home and a local host who can help you navigate life in Long Beach from the moment you arrive.
Short-term stays of 4 weeks and longer stays are both available, whether you are completing a single semester or a full transfer program. Airport pickup is available upon request.
Yes. USH places international students attending LBCC with verified American host families in the Long Beach and South Bay area of Los Angeles. We handle the matching, the paperwork, and the logistics so you can focus on your studies from the day you arrive.
No. LBCC does not provide on-campus housing. All students, including F-1 visa students, need to arrange their own housing in the Long Beach area. Homestay is one of the most practical solutions — it gives you a fully furnished room with meals and utilities included, flexible stay lengths that align with your academic schedule, and none of the complications of signing a long-term apartment lease from abroad.
Yes. If your institution is sending a group of students to LBCC, our group accommodations office can arrange placements for multiple students with host families in the Long Beach area. Contact our group office with your program dates and student count.
The minimum stay is 4 weeks. Many students stay for the full duration of their program — from a single semester through a complete two-year transfer pathway. We work around your LBCC academic schedule and can adjust your end date as your program evolves.
