Housing Information
Columbia College does not currently provide housing services to students, but the College makes efforts for all incoming students to ensure that they have access to necessary resources to find housing in the local area. Students who are new to the DMV area may first consider staying in a local hotel to explore the area. Students may consider the two following places for lodging while they search for a long-term option and can get a discounted price for stay by mentioning Columbia College. However, Columbia College has no affiliation with them.

Health Insurance
The cost of healthcare in the United States is relatively high compared to most other countries. To not have health insurance can result in financial burden who experiences even a relatively minor health problem. Medical expenses can affect the student’s full-time status if/when a student has difficulty meeting financial obligations.
Columbia College has chosen to offer an affordable alternative health and wellness plan to our students. The program is designed to make students’ healthcare/wellness plan easy to use by giving knowledgeable service representatives to answer questions, verify eligibility, and check the status of a claim for students. For more information, please contact the Business Development office (Paul Shi, pauls@ccdc.edu).
