In addition to all of the other choices related to your studying in the U.S. you may be faced with lots of choices about where to live. Your foreign student adviser can help you make a decision about the accommodations that are right for you.

As with many things in the United States, you may have several options for housing. Research your options before you arrive. You can do this via e-mail communication with the International Student Office, or by browsing the Internet for local on-line newspapers in the region of the school you choose. While reading the classifieds will give you an idea of what living conditions off campus are like, we recommend that you actually look at the living quarters after you arrive before you commit to a rental agreement. 

If your college or university is located in a large city it may not offer on-campus housing. But, if your school is a residential campus you may be required to choose from several on-campus housing options. Whether you choose to live on campus or off campus you must still sign an agreement or a lease. It is important to understand this kind of legal document before you commit yourself. Read the agreement  thoroughly and make sure that you understand it before signing.

Good luck finding a place to live!
