Cost of Studying in USA

What its like to be studying and living in USA?

It is always best to stay on campus. Not only are the basic amenities easily accessible but also on-campus life allows students to gradually integrate into the student community under the guidance of peers and staff. If on campus option is not available then one should look for the home-stays or rented accommodation. Home-stays provide family life and are usually cheaper than on campus accommodation. Depending on your location, home-stays usually cost 800-1000 USD a month on single occupancy room basis, including meals. Students who decide to rent an apartment can also get valuable help from the university student association.
