• I found my accommodation through Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram groups. Initial search for incoming students in the same situation as me was difficult. Searching in college groups is the first step to getting more connections for accommodation searches and teaming up with other students in the same boat as us.
• I found a group that had finalised on renting a 3-bedroom townhouse 5 minutes walking distance from SDSU and we shared it among 6 people. Our rent was $3300, which got divided up into $550 per person + $50 utilities.

• Using online groups from my consultancy and approaching seniors for help resulted in solid options for living spaces.I paid $2800 a month for a 2BHK apartment. The apartment is furnished with facilities such as a swimming pool, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, gas stove, oven, and storage space.The challenge was there weren't many Indian students, so it was hard for me to find accommodation.
• However, after some time and effort, I got to a good place.
• Tips for Future Students: I would encourage contacting seniors on LinkedIn; theyoffer great advice and help with a good place to stay.
• The distance from campus is maybe about 1 mile, so it's very easy and convenient tocommute.Most Indian students prefer staying in Penthouse, Dorchester, and Diplomat apartments. They are about 1 mile from the college and offer a comfortable, student-
  friendly environment.

• I live in Dorchester Apartments (1.2 miles away from campus). The seniors are super helpful; they helped us get accommodation.
• For a 2B2B, the rent is around $2700-3000 depending upon apartment size.
• The main challenge was a guarantor, who should be living and earning in the USA. So if you have any relatives in the USA, that would be great or one of your roommates should have a guarantor in the USA.
• Incoming students can ping any seniors on LinkedIn; they will help with accommodation at off-campus apartments.
• Generally, Indian students live in Dorchester, Penthouses, or Diplomat Apartments. These are opposite each other and about 1.2 miles from the university.

I took off campus accommodation which was a sharing apartment. There are many such opportunities at walking distance from campus.

It was a very learning experience for me. I gained a bunch of research opportunities, network with academic professionals via conferences, very supportive professors, ample on-campus job opportunities to help with sustenance.

Dorm rooms are very expensive. Reasonably priced apartments available around a mile from campus.

Close to silicon Valley, course structure flexible and adaptable.

The first 2 years you are required to live on campus in dorms or apartments. First-year students receive meal plans and gym memberships. I chose to live off-campus because I did community college in my first 2 years. However, the on-campus housing I've been in is outdated and small.

San Diego had always been a dream city for me. It's metropolitan but also has chill areas like the beach. It's a state school so as a California resident it was an affordable choice. The college campus is a moderate size and has beautiful architecture. The area the college is in feels like it's own community.

I live and work at an off-campus residence. It's nice because you are not affiliated with the school and more often than not because of that the prices are a lot lower. I love working off-campus but sometimes it's hard for them to understand that we are students.

I decided to opt for this particular college because they were giving me the most financial assistance compared to some of the other universities that I got into. It's also a great school in a great location.

I own my own home so I cannot say much about living on campus or in a hostel. The school representatives are very helpful with questions like this. I do suggest finding roommates that you can trust. The area immediately around the college is a little rough so if you can commute that would be even better.

Great professors and advisors. I had a previous education experience with them and know their value. I also love that service Learning is a major part of the program. They encourage us to be politically active in our practice.

I stay off-campus and cost is also affordable

Because of the coursework and location. The college also had a limited strength in CS so that the professor can focus on individuals
