What should I pay attention to when renting a house for graduate students studying in America?
We generally have two choices, one is dormitory (on-campus dormitory) and the other is apartment (off-campus apartment).

(1) Dormitories. Dormitories are dormitories in universities, which are usually divided into single rooms, double rooms and suites. Some campus dormitories have simple kitchens for students to cook. The advantage of dormitory is that it is convenient to attend classes on campus, but the disadvantage is that the room area is small, the price is expensive and the activities are limited.

(2) Residential apartments. Houses and apartments are off-campus rentals, which are usually divided into apartments (off-campus apartments), studio house (shared houses) and homestay.

Apartments are generally located in residential areas, with the advantage that rooms are larger than campus dormitories and relatively cheaper, and some of them have supporting outdoor swimming pools or gymnasiums; The disadvantage is that it is far from the campus, so you need to use transportation to go to school at ordinary times, and you need to pay attention to safety issues.

2 Studio House, as its name implies, is shared by many people. Its advantages are higher security, lower rent and easy access to social circles. The disadvantage is that you need to put up with your roommate's living habits and some minor problems.

3 B&B is more intuitive, that is, living in the home of local residents. The advantage is that it is easy to integrate into the cultural environment, and sometimes it may include three meals; The disadvantage is that it is expensive, and you need to put up with the living habits and minor problems of the landlord.
