Fall 2026 Move-In Details
San Germán is primarily a commuter campus, with many students living at home or arranging off-campus housing; on-campus dormitories exist but are limited. The historic town of San Germán is known for its colonial-era architecture and relaxed lifestyle, with easy access to local businesses and community spaces near campus. Two single-gender residences (one for women, one for men) offer apartment-style rooms for up to four students, and applying takes a completed form, two photos, medical paperwork, a recommendation letter from someone outside your family, and an interview with the residence administrator. This specific date should be confirmed directly with Inter's Dean of Students office (San Germán campus) closer to move-in.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time - your exact move-in date is shown above in the Overview.
Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
- Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
- Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
