Program in the Spotlight: Housing
Edmonds CC is a unique community college because we have a residence hall located on our campus, Rainier Place. Any student can choose to live in our residence hall which:
- Offers a safe and clean living environment;
- Helps provide a strong community living experience;
- Provides co-curricular experiences to augment student learning;
- Challenges students in the areas of personal wellness, integrity, and global citizenship; and
- Educates students on intercultural communication and understanding.
We offer other housing options including Sophie Court for older students and families, or Spencer Court, which is a bus ride away from campus. There are opportunities for international students in our Homestay program where they can create friendships that last a lifetime.
Would you like to host an international student? Check out information for host families.

Edmonds CC is providing more opportunities for STEM students. The college is working to increase the number of students studying science by reaching out to students who — without support — won’t enter college, won’t study math or science, and won’t complete a degree. These include many women, underrepresented minorities, low-income, and first-generation college students. These students can receive support for their studies through programs at the college like MESA (Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement), RiSE (Relationships in Science Education) and others.
