UTLA Housing

The University of Texas at Austin provides apartment accommodations for students participating in the Semester in Los Angeles program. Accommodations are fully furnished and appointed two bedroom/two bathroom apartments in a gated, extended stay corporate housing facility: the Oakwood Toluca Hills Corporate Housing, which is located within walking distance from the UTLA Center where classes are held.

Apartment Features: Each apartment will be furnished with the “Oakwood Essentials Apartment” package. See a detailed list of apartment amenities.

All students participating in the Semester in Los Angeles program are required to live in The Oakwood – Toluca Hills Corporate Housing. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Students may choose from three housing options at the Oakwood Apartments:
• Live by themselves in a studio apartment.
• Live in a 1-bedroom apartment shared with 1 roommate.
• Live in a 2-bedroom apartment shared with 3 other roommates.
Housing fees

A UTLA student assistant will be available to students on site in the Oakwood apartments, under the oversight of Phil Nemy, the program’s executive director.

Most students elect to share an apartment with three other roommates. Students will be asked to indicate their housing preference and roommate requests when they apply for admission to the program, and can update the information by contacting the UTLA student assistant the semester prior to participation (requests and changes will be accepted up until the final housing payment deadline for the semester of participation). While the UTLA Center staff will make every effort to accommodate students’ housing and roommate requests, final decisions will rest on overall student enrollment and housing availability issues.

All UTLA participants will be held to the Oakwood – Toluca Hills House Rules for student conduct.
