San Mateo Community College District (SMCCCD) is a three college district located between San Francisco and San Jose in the Silicon Valley. Colleges include Skyline College, College of San Mateo, and Cañada College. These serve more than 31,000 international students and scholars.

- Loaded with vetted and affordable housing options close to each campus
- Liability insurance, zero deposit, and affordable housing options
- Dedicated 24/7 customer service team to answer students’ inquires
On the operational side, the international student services team at San Mateo Community College District will be able to channel their time on increasing international student enrolment and maintain the retention rate, while housing challenges are handled by professionals in the student housing industry. San Mateo Community College District will also get a customized and while-labeled booking platform together with a dashboard to monitor housing placements.
