Life as a Student at 快猫成版视频 

快猫成版视频 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.
