Although commuting from other parts of Bangkok to the Salaya Campus is not difficult, many students decide to live either on or close to the campus. This allows them to have more time to focus on their studies as well as participate in extra-curricular activities.
Mahidol University provides low-cost dormitories for students who have financial difficulties. Preference is usually given to other Mahidol University faculties, but MUIC students can apply as well.
There are six men's dormitories and four women's dormitories. They are located near the Central Facilities of the Salaya Campus. Each room can house four people.
