Dépenses habituelles

Eating out is very cheap but rather unhealthy. As soon as you want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, everything gets expensive though. Calling is cheap using skype or similar services, but mobile phone contracts are far more expensive than the european average.

Plus cher que chez moi

Aussi cher que chez moi

Commentaire personnel

The university ID let's you use all public transportation for free. The cheapest way of travelling is using the Greyhound bus service, or JetBlue.com for cheap flights. The school offers some trips around Thanksgiving and Spring break.

Recommandations de cours

Take more courses than what you really need, and decide after a week or two which are the ones you really want to follow. The descriptions rarely give a good insight on what is to be expected.

Commentaire personnel

As an european student, you have to be aware that you will meet a very different system. You almost have to attend all classes, and homework throughout the whole term don't let you take breaks whenever you want.

Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Indépenant - choix personnel

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

The student housing is extremly expensive, and the rooms are all shared, what yields a loss of privacy and a lot of diversion.

Commentaire personnel

The on-campus housing is clean and close from the university, but the space is very small relative to the price paid. Houses and apartements around the university are relatively cheap and easy to get.

Recommandation personnelle

If you're in the Engg. Deptt. you're safe. If you're into natural sciences, be absolutely sure which group to join, because Mellon is a small college; you won't be left with any *second* choices!

Commentaire personnel

The university housing at CMU is mainly for undergraduate students and is quite exhorbitantly priced. Otherwise, Pittsburgh has a decent cost of living, and you do get nice apartments to rent close-by, which is within your budget.
