Accommodation for New Students
What are the options of Accommodations?
Temporary Accommodation
Till the time you do not decide where you are staying. You
will be accommodated at apartments with the association members. Feel
comfortable to stay with them and also respect their privacy. The whole process
of accommodating works like a chain. So once you get accustomed here and settle,
you can help your new friends by accommodating them the next semester and that
way returning the favor.
On-campus housing
The suitable housings for grad students is given on the
following links You can visit the main web site of Department of Housing to get
more information about rates and application procedure etc. However, be warned
that there is a long wait for some on-campus housing, and it could take up to an
year to get an opening on-campus, so you should not count on it for immediate
needs. You can however stay in the dormitories but they turn out to be
expensive and also you have to buy their meal plan. For those looking for
economical housing should check the off campus housing. Once you get here you
will be showed around and you can make your own decision.
Off-campus housing
After you arrive here and get out of jet lag the first
thing you need to do is look round apartments in case you decide to stay off
campus. Depending on what kind of a person you are you need you need to decide
what kind of an apartment you want. If you are the loner types then you need a
single bedroom apartment. And if you are the one who likes company then you can
choose 2, 3 or 4 bedroom apartments. You can meet other new students and choose
your roommates. Take into consideration, the study/work habits, studiousness,
general interests, smoking and drinking habits etc. Generally, 2, 3, or 4
persons stay together. It serves well economically too. Co-ed living is common
here and should not be a problem if one respects the privacy and freedom of the
other person.
