Orange Coast College is a public community college in Costa Mesa, in the heart of Orange County, Southern California. The college operates a dedicated Global Engagement Center (GEC) supporting F-1 visa students through admissions, advising, and housing guidance.
OCC also operates IEC@OCC — an Intensive English Program that allows international students to start at OCC without a TOEFL or IELTS score, making it a popular destination for ESL students arriving from overseas.
USH offers homestay accommodation for international students attending Orange Coast 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.
Your host family is your first connection to American life. You practice English every day at home — not just in the classroom. You learn how Americans cook, celebrate, and live. Many international students say their host family became some of their closest friends in the US.
Short stays of 4 weeks and longer semester stays are both available, so your housing near Orange Coast College matches your program length exactly. Airport pickup is available upon request — contact our office for details.
