    The ability to gather these information's in just a year of being in the US speaks much about your person. You are special.
    All your video's are packed with information that prepare anyone who desire to relocate or study in the US.
    You are special.

      I found my place on apartment[dot]com. I also looked on sites like trulia and zillow. Facebook is also a good place to use. You could either check for groups targeted at students in your university or use Facebook marketplace. Since you’re not presently in the US, change your location to where you will be living so you can see options available in that area. I hope this helps and good luck with your search!

    What is the average graduate assistantship stipend? This seems expensive..

    • @AmaraOsuji
      @AmaraOsuji  2 года назад +2

      Yea, the Boston area is pretty expensive but I don’t think there’s an average stipend because it depends on lots of different factors such as the school/department, whether you’re a Masters or PhD student etc. I just know that most schools take the cost of living in the area into consideration and provide a stipend that is enough to cover your very basic needs.

    • @omamizflawless
      @omamizflawless Год назад

      I second it's worth researching on and sharing a video about it. Maybe interview students from other schools including MS and PhD to get an insight into stipends from an RA/TA/GA positions. Thanks for this video

      I know I already responded on IG but I’ll respond here again for others who might have the same question.
      Yes, you’ll be allowed to work on an F1 visa. However, it can only be on campus and for a maximum of 20 hours per week during the semester or 40 hours per week in summer.
      Honestly, it’s pretty limiting but you have that option.

      Brandeis is in the suburbs, like 30min outside Boston. So if you have a car it’s chill and rent is much better in those towns around there.

      There’s a closet in Chinatown renting for $1,200 right now. Not a bad deal, easy access to restaurants as the closet is located in the back of a local restaurant. Only downside is that you must sleep standing up since there’s not too much room. Hahaha
