2 Bedroom/Quadruple occupancy/month $450

    

Be prepared to bring sufficient American dollars to cover the costs of rent, deposit, security, and transportation.

Some students choose to share with classmates thus substantially bringing the cost down. Two-four students may share a two-bedroom apartment while two can share a one-bedroom. Most landlords require a 12-month lease with one month's rent and security deposit at the time of signing.
