Housing

Type of housing: A room exchange

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: A room exchange

Why?

Room sharing with the students would be the easiest and cheapest way for accomodation. There are plenty of International students and many of them chose the room sharing in nearby apartments. If one can get graduate assistantship or scholarship then he or she can have choice to move into on campus dormatories or own the apartment individually.

There are four major buildings for accomodation on campus. Two are near the computer lab and the other two are near library and cafeteria. A person has to pay also for food in cafeteria whoever decides to stay on campus. The halls are located on campus so distance to classes are not more than 2 to 3 minutes. On campus security is quiet well. Boys and girls cannot stay together and that is the rule. Accomodation on campus is still costlier than room sharing in nearby apartments. The nearby area named Kearny is better to stay and easy transportation of bus is available to university at 1.10 USD one way. The University provides free shuttle service to kearny and other nearer area like newark after 4 pm to 11 pm.

could have been better because i had to share my room with another girl. I was lucky because she was pretty cool but if she had not been friendly, it could have been a disaster...i'd rather have my own room, especially with the price i paid for it...
