Students can apply directly through MU for one of our dorm partners, WIHAST. If you are interested in this option, our Student Services Coordinators will share with you an application form after you are enrolled. The deadline for applying to WIHAST through MU’s internal application is 15 December for the Spring Intake and 15 July for the Fall Intake.

For these reasons, we uphold our Application Fee to ensure everyone receives fair and unbiased reviews and attention.
