Before renting an apartment, you should first understand your accommodation needs, including the area you are renting, the distance and time to and from school, the budget cost, and whether you are sharing an apartment.

After deciding on your needs, it is recommended that students spend some time researching the security situation in the area they have chosen. You can visit the relevant local websites to check the safety factor of the area, and if it is an area with a high crime rate, it is best not to choose to live there.

When looking at properties, pay attention to the availability of amenities around the community, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, etc..

You should also pay attention to what living goods are provided by the landlord, whether they can meet your daily needs, and what additional things you need to buy. If you plan to find a roommate to share a room, you must discuss these issues with your roommate in advance to avoid conflicts in the future.

Depending on your situation, houses and apartments have advantages and disadvantages, but generally, apartments are more expensive, so remember to consider your own situation.

Yes, we encourage students to see the apartment in person before deciding to sign up, so they can get a more direct feel for the apartment. However, we have to admit that many students want to move in right away when they arrive in the U.S. Also, the closer to the start of the school year, the higher the price and the fewer good apartments there are. Therefore, students should decide when to sign up according to their actual situation.

Student, visiting student, or student's family only: clear and uniform check-in and check-out times; generally 12 months, rarely less than 5 months.

The most typical student apartment lease is for 12 months, starting in August or September and ending in July or August of the following year. A few apartments offer semester leases (5 or 6 months), 10-month leases (leases that end at the end of May), or leases that end in July or August (unlimited start dates). Generally, for periods of less than 12 months, the apartment charges an additional monthly fee for short term rentals, ranging from $30-$100 per month.

Is the room number, key, etc., correct and are all the facilities provided in the apartment available? We recommend you take a photo of the check-in list and submit it to the apartment together with the check-in list so that both parties can keep a copy for their protection.
