Accommodation
Students are given the option of on-campus dormitory and off-campus housings. The first choice will require students to spend a substantial amount of their time with other students, naturally leading them to participate in school events and other social occasions. Students will thus be provided with the ideal opportunities to interact with American culture. On the other hand, students staying at off-campus housings will be given much privacy. Although the school may provide basic information over students' options, students are required to make their own arrangements prior to arrival.
