ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV

ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV offers a wide range of housing opportunities both on and off campus. The International Center, a newly renovated on-campus facility, provides suite-style apartments with complete kitchen facilities. Those students who wish to live with a US American student or an international student from another country will be given first priority.

Off campus housing is available. Students can choose from a wide range of single, double and even larger apartment. The prices range from about $300 - $700 a month. Most apartments are within easy walking distance from campus. Some apartments require you to pay 4 months of rent when you sign the lease.

This is strongly discouraged. The purpose of this Center is to allow students to improve their English while learning about U.S. culture.

Students at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV can use any of the recreational or study facilities.

Yes. The United States government permits international students to work up to 20 hours a week during the semester. Many international students do find jobs, normally in such areas as food service, plant and building maintenance, computer assistance and assisting the faculty in certain areas. Normally these jobs pay $5.15 per hour. However, there are more international students seeking jobs on campus than there are actually jobs, so you cannot count on being able to get a job when you arrive.

We can give you the I-20 form, which you take to the U.S. Embassy or consulate nearest to you to apply for a visa. You can learn more about student visas at http://www.travel.state.gov. An additional resource regarding the visa process, please visit http://www.uscis.gov.

ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV operates on a rolling deadline rather than a fixed deadline. We try to rapidly process all applications. Still, documents should be submitted as early as possible to avoid any last minute rush or frustration.
