All of our units are 2-bedroom, 2-bath premium apartment
units strategically located near each campus in LA, OC, and
SD (SF handles independent living options and works closely
with students to be sure all their housing needs are met).
Most students apply to be in a “shared” space, sharing a
bedroom and bathroom with another resident. Apartment
units accommodate up to four residents. Private rooms are
available at double the cost.

The cost includes rent, basic cable, furniture, utilities, and
Internet access. Food, phone, and parking are not included,
though limited parking spaces are distributed. Please see
Housing FAQs for more details.
As a first-time LA applicant, a student cannot request a
specific property. FIDM must have the flexibility to assign
spaces according to availability for the student’s first quarter,
due to the nature of our housing. In the following quarter, as
a Student Housing renewal applicant, the student is able to
request a specific property and is given priority placement.
Student Housing is limited to full-time FIDM Students only.
“Our FIDM Housing experience was
a very positive one. We truly
appreciated the beauty, security,
and convenience of the FIDM
Housing accommodations.”
