Advice for international students on choosing between dorms and residence halls, private rentals, and family housing Private RentalsIf you can't get housing from your school -- or simply don't like the options available -- it's time to check out private rentals. These range from houses and apartments to living with a local family or simply renting a room. Your school's contact for international students should be able to point you in the right direction. Many keep listings of local landlords/rentals and can tell you the best way to access roommate-wanted notices from current students.
Questions to Ask:Be sure to know how much you'll be paying and what it includes. Can the rent go up? How much are utilities? Is there a security deposit? If it's a family situation or room rental, find out what parts of the house you share -- and with whom. Know the length of the rental period, and if you're going to have roommates, talk about living details. Discuss how costs and chores will be split, when it's OK to have guests, and whether smoking is allowed.
Advantages:You can choose exactly where you want to live and decide whether or not you want roommates. Living with a local family can also provide a great support network.
Disadvantages:Be sure to think about transportation. If your accommodations aren't within walking distance of campus, how will you get there? In some cases, you may have to provide your own furniture. It can also be hard to rent a place sight unseen. One option is to arrange temporary housing at a hostel or inexpensive hotel and look for rentals once you arrive in the country.

Determine the number of nights and the room rates ahead of time. Use a tool such as Expedia.com for rates and availability. You can even book online, too.

Importance of Good Credit
Good credit is a very valuable thing to have. It takes time to establish good credit, so the earlier you start building your credit history the better. Take action now.
Good credit is a positive record of paying off loans and making timely payments. It is so important to establish good credit early. It can help you buy a home, rent an apartment, borrow money, get a job, finance a car and more.
Having good credit allows you to borrow money or obtain goods by paying little or no money at the time of purchase. However, you promise to pay the original cost along with interest over a period of time.
If you have good credit, you may be able to avoid cash deposits when you establish accounts with utility companies. Potential employers often use credit to check job candidates' backgrounds and also use it as an indicator of an applicant's financial honesty and personal integrity.
Make establishing good credit a top priority. Do this by using credit responsibly. Make sure to always pay your bills on time and only borrow amounts you can comfortably repay.
Periodically contact the major credit reporting companies to review your file and make certain the information is correct. For a small fee, you can obtain a copy of your credit report at any time.
