Who helps with housing selection

Student accommodation varies: it can be a student hostel, individual houses, apartments or other shared housing. But you should be prepared that you will probably have to share a room with other students. As soon as you receive a job offer, make sure you have a place to live in the United States. Read the offer carefully and find out if your employer provides housing for the duration of your employment. Ideally, your employer will help you find safe and affordable housing. Housing information is usually listed on the job invitation. You may see such notations: Housing assisted - The employer does not provide housing, but is willing to help you find housing. Contact the employer to find out what options are available. The employer may give you contacts of landlords who rent to students and you will need to make your own arrangements. Housing provided - your employer provides housing while you are working. The cost of housing can be deducted from your salary. This is often practiced by employers who have been working with international students for a number of years. For example, they may rent a house or apartment to a group of students who pay a weekly rent. If you work in the hospitality industry, you may have accommodation provided right in the hotel, which can be cheaper.
