Housing

LAST UPDATED: October 17, 2023

When you’re in medical school, you need a place to call home. American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) offers both on-campus housing and selected third-party housing units— apartments with the comforts of home. We have a diverse selection of housing options available for students. Find the one that’s right for you.

Housing options available on a first deposited, first-served basis. Each student assigned to University approved housing will be charged a $1,000 Housing Damage Deposit (HDD), which will be due, with rent, at the beginning of the term. At the end of the term, after students move out and turn in their keys, and after inspections have been completed of all vacated units (Please allow 6-8 weeks post move out) HDDs will be credited back to the student’s housing account. Any resultant credit balance will then be eligible for refund.

AUA defines single as bedrooms occupied by one person. Double as apartments occupied by two persons.

  • All electrical outlets are 110V AC

All AUA-selected housing does not include:

  • Linens – Students need to bring their own linens including pillows. Most bedding is queen size, but please confirm this with your New Student Coordinator when you receive your housing assignment.
  • Towels – Students need to bring their own towels.

Housing is provided exclusively for students. Family, friends, or any other visitors are not permitted to reside for any period of time in Universitysponsored housing. Please plan accordingly to have guests make plans to stay in a hotel if they come to visit.
