美国Ohio University 生活指南 初来乍到 新生初来乍到，在安顿好生活的各方面的同时，更要及早与学校及系办公室取得联系。 报到的大致程序如下: 1. 携带相关的证件(护照、I20 表或IAP66 表等)到 International Student and Faculty Service报到，学校会给你一个临时的Student Identification Number, 可在校内暂时用作临时的社会安全号码(Social Security Number, SSN). International Student and Faculty Service地址： Rm 348, New Baker Center （即学校提供的地图上的第87号楼） Tel:740-593-4330 2. 去HDL Center办理Student I.D.； 3. 向系里报到。已经确定导师的去拜会导师； 4. 参加新生入学指导(ORIENTATION)，学校和系里会分别举行，一般包含城市介绍、校园介绍、系中教师和同学的介绍，选课的介绍以及注册的详细要求及程序。历年8月底，CSSA有自己的orientation。 5. 社会保险号码(Social Security Number, SSN) 社会保险号码在美国是个人的身份号码，处处都要用到它。务必保密好你的号码，以免被他人损害你的信用纪录。在向International Student office报到后，如果你有奖学金或由学校指定的工作，International Student office会给你一份文件，凭这你可以到Athens Mall里的Society Security Administration去办理SSN。 6. 有人搭讪，在听不懂的情况下，一定要说NO,thanks。免得受骗。 若发生紧急****，也可打电話到International Student and Faculty Service (ISFS) 1-740-593-4330，也可打电话给CSSA的同学。 7. 打电话。我们来到以后陆续去购买手机，一般两到四个人合用一个family plan。你可以在学校所有公用电话免费打本地的电话号码。Ohio东南部的区号是740，所以能用这里的公用电话免费打很多740的号码。拨打这类免费电话，先拨9，然后拨7位的电话号码，即不用拨打区号740。 安顿入住 1. 租房 1.1. 信息: (1) 到街上看。如果有空房，一般的房东都会在门前贴上"For Rent"字样及联系电话。这是一个比较大的信息源，但比较累及麻烦。 (2) 看布告栏：在学校图书馆及教学楼和International Student Office都有布告栏，在那儿可发现不少租房信息。 (3) 听人介绍。这是一个比较机动灵活的方法。 (4) 看报纸:在学校的很多大楼都可以找到当天的Athens News, The Post。前者有很多租房信息，後者有一些但很少。你可以在报上发现有关房子的位置、简介、价格情况和电话。 (5) CSSA mailing list和学校的mulberry（需从学校网站下载安装）上：你可以在这儿发现很多老生寻求sublease的广告及寻找Roommate 的广告。 (6) 和周围的新生共享信息。由於都是新生并且都在找房子，可得到很多有用、合适的信息。 1.2. 房屋种类: (1) Studio or Efficiency: 每月租金包括水，电，气约$350-$550，其特徵是一个大空间内，起居室兼作卧室和饭厅，浴室独立，厨房一般与起居室相连。 (2) One-bedroom apartment: ($350-$745) 一房一厅，厨房与浴室独立。 (3) Two-bed Room apartment or Three-bed Room Apartment: ($450-$700)厨房与浴室独立。可以和朋友一起合租，通常比单独住Studio，Efficiency或One-bed Room Apartment便宜。另外房屋还有FURNISHED 与UNFURNISHED 之分，FURNISHED 当然贵一些，但对新来的人很方便。中国人喜欢炒菜做饭。Studio 或Efficiency 有时没有单独的厨房，厨房与卧室之间没有间隔。因此选择Studio 或Efficiency 时要考虑这一因素。否则，你就等於住在厨房里了！ 2. 社区安全: Athens是个治安比较好的城市，但也不排除暴力犯罪发生的可能性。 校内报警电话为740-593-1911，市内报警911。 3. 签约及注意事项: (1) 押金：Security Deposit: 租房子通常签约几个月至一年不等，若想续约，一般须在期满一个月前书面告知房东。押金通常为一个月的房租，最多不超过两个月的房租。当你离开时，必须把钥匙交给房东，并留下日後联络地址。房东在你离开三十天内，必须归还全部押金，或列出毁损物品及押金差额。当然，最好的办法是在你将钥匙还给房东以前，请他/她检查房屋的情况并退还押金。 (2) 租金: 应考虑是否含水，电，气(utility)。如果不含电，那就要问清楚暖气是否用电或气，否则冬天要花一笔可观的电费。一般留学生电费一个月约$20-30，但如果暖气是用电的可能就超过60了。另外有些房子含家具，但家具可能要另付租金，看房子、签lease 时需问清。 (3) 签约时要特别注意看清条约款项。 (4) 其它注意事项: 检查房屋的清洁及通风情况; 签约时要仔细检查屋子，对任何墙壁及家俱破损要同房东做好记录; 问清房东是否可以在墙上钉钉子等。 必要时可以拍一、两张照片，以备日后有所依据。 4. 水电气 如果租金不含水，电，煤气，那么在签好组约后，就要向水，电和煤气公司申请供水电气，一般房东会提供相关信息。提出申请后，一般会在一两天内接通。 财务管理 1. 银行开户: 学校周围的银行有: Chase (740) 593-6681，2 S. Court St.* People's Bank (740) 593-7761，1 N. Court St. Hocking Valley Bank (740) 592-4441，23 S. Court St. or 7 W. Stimson Ave Ohio University Credit Union (740)597-2800，90 S. Shafer St.* (注：*为中国学生常用的银行。) 开户注意事项： 新生所带的美金现钞应尽快存入银行!在美国，身边不宜携带、家里不宜存放大量现金。在银行开户时，应注意: (1) 携带相关的证件:如护照，学生ID，社会安全号(Social Security Number, SSN), 若开户时尚未取得社会安全号码，可以先开户，待得到社会安全号码以後再告诉银行. (2) 选择适当的存款方式:美国银行与大陆银行不同，若所存款项要达到一定的数目，银行不支付利息。不同存款方式收取的手续费不同，开户时可根据自己的现金数量及收入水平选取相应的存款方式。我们一般在银行同时开以下两种帐户：checking和savings。这两个帐号不是截然分开的。 (3) 开户时，上述银行会同时免费给客户办理取款卡(Debit Card)。运用自动取款卡，用户可以在任何一个自动取提款机上提取一定数量的现金。如果此提款机属於用户的开户银行，提款及其他服务一般是免费的；否则，将会收取一定的手续费。 (4) 支票：在美国，支票几乎是最常见的付款方式。在开户时，银行会给予新客户一定数量的临时支票，正式的支票会随後寄到。开户时，应询问是否对新客户有一定的优惠。有一些银行会免费赠送支票本给新客户。一般来说，一盒支票本(200 张)价钱大约为15 美元。一般一年使用100 张支票。 (5) 除了Checking Account和Savings Account以外，尚有定期账户(Certificate Deposit CD)。定期账户类似於国内的定期存款，其利率是各种账户中最高的。而且其利率不会随时间变化，是固定的。如果你有大笔金额，而且暂时不用，可以考虑存入CD 账户。 “小窍门” (1) 开口问清楚银行的要求。银行都有关於开户的书面说明，如果你害怕初来乍到的口语说不清楚，可以将银行的书面说明仔细阅读后再办理开户手续。一般而言，最好同时开两种账户：支票账户Checking account)和储蓄账户(savings account)。一般来说，储蓄账户的利率略高於支票账户，因此可将平时常用的小笔金额放入支票账户，大金额备用的钱则存入储蓄账户。 (2) 只购买足够的支票即可。有的文票账户会规定用户每月只可使用一定数量的支票，超出以後每张支票会收取一定的手续费。开支票时，为了避免支票被转作他用，可在文票的背面写上"for deposit only， 若接受了别人的支票，想存入自己的账户里，最好是到了柜台前才在支票後签名，以防遗失後被他人兑现。每次开支票或存钱时都应做好记录，以防止账户的余额低於最低存款限制。 (3) 尽量在属於开户银行的自动提款机上提款及享用其他服务。使用自动提款卡要注意保护密码。不要将密码告诉任何人。提款服务结束後，切记将提款卡取出，以防他人使用。如果提款卡末取出，在几分钟内又无人使用，提款机会自动“吞吃”提款卡。用户可以持有效证件到银行索取提款卡。 (4) 银行每月向用户邮寄月statement，收到后应仔细查对，以保障自己的权益。 2. 申请信用卡(Credit Card): 信用卡在美国是一种很常见和方便的付款方式。使用信用卡可以避免随身携带大量现金的麻烦。除了个别地方(如电影院，快餐馆)，绝大多数的地方都接受信用卡。 信用卡的申请与使用：（申请的前提是持有SSN） (1) 填写申请表：开学伊始，学校会有许多信用卡公司设立的服务点。你可以在那儿填写申请表格并提供其他信息，如学生I.D. 号码等，还会收到T 恤等小礼品。近年来已经流行网上申请。 (2) 信用卡公司接到申请表後，会检查你相关的信用纪录以决定是否接受你的申请。大多数来自大陆的新生都还没有信用纪录，因此首次申请可能会遭到拒绝。通常，我们以Ohio University Credit Union为第一个申请对象。但是，总有一些小的公司或主要面向学生的公司会接受你的申请。另外，American Express 有专为学生而设的plan,比较容易申请到。 (3) 信用卡公司接受你的申请後，会将信用卡直接邮寄给你，并会随信附上相关的规定。仔细阅读这些规定，了解如何恰当地使用信用卡。另外，收到信用卡後(如果必需)尽快打电话activate 它，并在卡的反面署名。 (4) 信用卡使用时，你只需要刷卡并在收据上签字。信用卡公司每月将账单寄给你，你根据账单用支票的方式付款。 (5) 另外信用卡还可用於提取现金。但你会为此付相当高的利息和手续费用。 “小窍门” (1) 申请信用卡时应注意该信用卡公司是否向用户收取年费(annual fee)，以及利息的比率是多少。一般，大多数信用卡公司都不向用户收取年费。收取年费的信用卡不必申请。 (2) 妥善保存信用卡。收到信用卡後，记下其公司的电话号码，信用卡的号码。如果信用卡遗失，立即打电话取消此信用卡。 (3) 尽量不用信用卡提取现金，因为有可能被收手续费。每次使用信用卡，保留其收据。受到账单後，检查是否与收据相符。另外，在每次账单上注明时间内付清所有的账目，否则，信用卡公司将收取很高的利息。 购物指南 在美国，住宅区和商业区附近有一些小商店和食品店及小型购物中心，但大部分商店都集中在Mall 里。Mall 通常都坐落在离住宅区较远的地方，包括一个大型建筑群，里面有象J.C.Penny, Goody's这样的百货商店，也有Footshot 这样的专卖店。在这个大建筑群附近还有Walmart, Kroger 这样的大卖场。Mall附近经常还有各种各样的快餐店。Athens有二个Mall(Athens Mall和University Mall)，它们相隔不远，你可以在那周围找到所有必需品。 日杂用品可以在Wal-Mart，Big-Lots购买；学校附近有Familydollar，这是一个很便宜的店，但是质量不是很好。这儿的学生一般每星期shopping一次，主要就是买点食品，Kroger，Walmart，BigBear，SaveALot是大家常去的地方，Athens还有一家东方店New Market，可以买到国内常见的食品，学校附近有Bob's Supermarket，对于没有车的同学来说那也是个不错的选择。当然，Athens的商品并不丰富，等到以后有车了，可以去Columbus购物，那里的东西要丰富得多。对于喜欢品牌的同学来说，在离开Athens约100 mile有Jeffsonville Premiere Outlet哪里有较多品牌产品如Polo，Gap，Ports等价格较百货商场和Mall来的便宜。 交通，邮局和书店 学校在非节假日有校车Bobcat为学生服务，那是免费的，约15分钟一班从8:00am-5:00pm，覆盖了大半Athens，对于没车的同学这是很不错的。Athens也有公共交通，那是收费的，也是大概半小时一班，从7:00am-7:00pm，在Athens的两个Mall前都有车站，但感觉并不是很方便。 学校的Baker Center四楼和离校不远的Stimson Ave.有邮局从8:00am-5:00pm，周六9:00am-12:00pm，周日休息。有急事的同学可用Fedex和UPS学校的很多地方都有它们的发送点。 学习所用的教科书，都在Athens的四家书店购买，它们都在在Court Street上，分別是College Bookstore(http://www.cbsohiou.com/index2.html), Little Professor Bookstore, Specialty Books(http://www.specialty-books.com/), Follett's University Bookstore(http://shop.efollett.com/htmlroot/GlobalIndex.html)。 一般有买used book的就买used book，美国的书实在是太贵了。另外，网上也可买新书或旧书，如：http://www.addall.com，http://www.Amazon.com, http://www.half.com 。 志愿者出车活动 每周二下午6点，在学校ping center前会有志愿者免费接送想去walmart购物的同学。在此我们非常感谢这些志愿者的义务服务，并且希望有更多的志愿者能够加入这个活动 饮食人生 1.中餐馆 当地有几家中国餐馆，几乎所有美国的中国餐馆都已经美国化（除了有大量华人聚居的那几个大城市），很多餐馆都提供buffet，Athens的也不例外。下面介绍几家中国学生常去的餐馆，Court Street上有China King（提供Buffet，也可以点菜）和北京饭店（提供快餐和点菜），位于Stimson Ave的福华楼（点菜），位于University Mall的龙辉（Grand China Buffet），West Union Street 上的LuiLui(老板是中国人，象是中式西餐，但味道不错，贵些)，Nesonville的福华楼（点菜）；此外位于离Athens 东40mile 处的Parkersburg 有一家Super China Buffet，King Buffet@Grill以及西北50mile处Lancester的龙 运，这两家主要提供Buffet餐馆也是常去的地方，味道不错，东西也很多，并且dinner都有海鲜。 2.美式速食 美式速食有Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Subway, Dommino's Pizza, Papa John's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver, Avalanche Pizza, etc.，及其他餐厅、咖啡馆与酒吧，例如：Bob Evans, Ponderosa, 7 Sauces, Damon's Grill, Oak Room, Casa Cantina/Nueva, McGuffey's (at OU Inn), Pig Skin, Court St. Diner, Buffalo Wings& Rings, Bagel Street Dell, Brenen's Coffee, Perk's Coffee House & Roastery, The Oasis, World's Best Bagels, The Union Grill, Union Street Cafe, Hole in the Wall, Larry's Dawg House, etc. 它们大多位于学校的Court Street，East State Street和Richland Ave.上。 3.小费 速食店一般不用给小费。凡是带有服务性质的都应给小费包括外送(delivery)其比率一般为10-20%。 文体活动 1. 体育活动 学校的体育设施很齐全，Ping Student Center是全美最好的五个学生体育活动中心之一，有健身房，室内排球，羽毛球，篮球场，壁球场，乒乓球桌和200米的塑胶田径跑道等; Aquatic Center有标准的奥林匹克游泳池；Bird Arena是一个溜冰和冰球馆。此外学校还有golf球场，室内和室外网球场等设施。 CSSA有固定的足球，羽毛球和篮球俱乐部，具体情况可上CSSA主页http://www.ohio.edu/~CSSA查看。每年CSSA都会组织一些比赛。 2. 电影 East state street上有Athena电影院，2005年新建，$6/人；离学校10mile处有Movies Town电影院这是Athens地区最大的电影院，$5/人，这两家电影院都放映最新的电影，服务时间:5:00pm-12:00pm，周末1:00pm-12:00pm。 3.CSSA活动 每年CSSA都要组织三次大的活动(端午龙舟赛，中秋节和春节)，这三次活动吸引了众多当地人和其他国家的学生和学者，成为了Athens重要的活动之一，也是人们了解和接触中国、中国人和中国学生的机会；同时这三次活动也是中国学生共叙友谊、互通有无的重要场合 车轮代步 ”美国是建设在车轮上的国家“，这句话是很形象的。许多学生到美后便陆续开始买车。 1. 车的价格随型号和车况有很大差别，网站http://www.kbb.com 提供了比较详细的介绍和比较。这个网站上关于旧车的价格有两种：一为Trade in Price，这是车主将车卖给Dealer 的价格参考，另一个是Market Price，这是买主从Dealer 那里买旧车的参考。从私人车主那里买车，价格一般介于这两者之间，可以参考kbb的Private Party的价格。买车可以多跑几家dealer，并且要关注Athens News上的买车广告，从私人手上买车最好在买前，到修车处对车进行全面的检查，以免出现大问题。买车不能心急要从长计议。买了车后要去HDL Center里的Athens County Title Office办理title的转换，然后在隔壁的Deputy Registrar-Motor Vehicle办理新车牌。 2. 驾驶执照：在Ohio，每个驾车人必须有Ohio的驾驶执照，同时驾驶执照也是一张重要的I.D.，在美国境内作用类似身份证。Athens驾照申请地在Athens County Title Office旁。驾驶执照考试分为两部份：笔试和路试。在学习Ohio的驾驶员手册后，可以去进行笔试，通过后可以得到学车证（temporary instruction permit，亦有身份证作用），有了它，就可以在有驾驶执照的朋友的陪同下开始上路练习了。自己感觉练的不错了后，就可以打电话预约路试，通过后就可以得到驾驶执照。 3. 注册：在Ohio，每个车主必须注册，获得Registration和License，地点和考驾照的地方一致，此外，AAA 是全美最大的有关机车驾驶的民间组织，他们也受理有关机车注册，保险，驾驶执照更换地址等事宜，但有时会收取一定的费用，请询问清楚。加入AAA，每年有一定的年费，但可以得到一定的服务，如在某些汽车部件或修理的商店中有价格优惠，可以索取免费地图，可以得到路上紧急服务，如拖车等，(服务的级别按年费的多少有所不同)。Athens的AAA地点在East State Street上，离学校很近。 4. 保险：在美国，每个驾车人必须购买汽车保险，保险价格根据保险的种类，金额，驾驶人的性别，经验，年龄，婚姻状况，以及车况有很大差别，一般对旧车来讲，可以先购买半年的全保，或根据个人情况而定。 [ Last edited by zyz1981 on 2010-1-30 at 16:40 ] |

美国 Univerist y of Utah 生活指南
|
The University of Utah, established in 1850, has the highest reputation in the State of Utah, and is also famous in the whole America. The local people call this university as UU, or the U. Some academic subjects, esp. in Science and Engineering, are very strong, and compared to other universities, the U has the best web and computing facilities. Around the campus, university shuttles and buses also give great conveniences to students, and riding a shuttle or bus is completely free for all students. The main field of the 2002 Winter Olympics hosted in Salt Lake City is just located in the campus of the University of Utah. This attracts more focuses from the people of all of the world. The University of Utah is located near the Wasatch Mountain and the Great Salt Lake. The campus is always peaceful, and there is a distance of about 3 kilometers from the center of Salt Lake City. In summer, the Salt Lake area has a drier and hotter climate. The average highest temperature of July is about 33 degrees centigrade, and the lowest is 18 degrees. The climate of winter is always snowy, but not very cold. The average highest temperature of January is about 2 degrees, and the lowest is -7 degrees. This means that the Salt Lake area is just an ideal heaven for skiing. Salt Lake City has the pleasant scenes through the four seasons in every year, and therefore it is well-known as one of "the most beautiful cities" and one of "the most liveable cities" in the United States. Prior to your arrival in Salt Lake City, you can obtain some useful information from New Student Living Guide, Information for students coming to Utah, and New Student Host Program. Another important thing for you is that you are encouraged to join the Chinese Mailing List, in which you can receive any information from other people in this List, and also you can send your messages into all of their email boxes. Furthermore, we also have a Chinese BBS for UU, where you can get more information that you want. 出国要带的东西（男女生适用版) 其实说实话，美国又不是沙漠。我们现在都后悔带了很多在这里很容易买到的东西，唉。以下是在盐湖城生活了2年的心得，仅供参考。 吃：建议买些现成的调料包，尤其是刚来还不太会自己调味时会有用。国内味好美这个牌子较全且好，例如姜粉，蒜粉，鱼香肉丝调料等等，其实这里中国店全都有卖，就是比较贵而已。另外，买一块好用的砧板，最好是那种厚塑料的，耐用且不沾；一把好的切菜刀，如果喜欢做排骨一类，建议添一把砍刀；微波炉饭盒以及菜盆不用买，这里超市随便选；筷子勺子以及筷篓；带盖铁炒锅（不一定要平底不沾锅，但要保证炒菜时你拎得动，其实这里也有卖的，随便你）以及炒勺；喜欢炖东西的话可以考虑带一个高压锅。其实美国人的餐具厨具挺先进的，虽然他们不善于做菜。茶叶，如果喜欢的话。 [top] 穿：其实不管去处天气如何，因为到处有空调暖气，所以带的衣服差不多。秋衣裤带3套即可，我个人喜欢带领的；袜子带够，内衣裤带够；睡衣冬夏各两套绝对够了；Tshirt实在不用买很多，够穿就行；滑雪短夹克以及滑雪裤一套（如果有兴趣滑雪的话）；羽绒服或者皮装一件即可；外套厚薄都带几件；厚薄牛仔以及休闲裤（对于男生来说，如果个子比较小，在这边不好买裤子，如果你170cm以上就可以在这边买，一般贵。女生就无所谓了，美国也有很瘦小的mm）；冬夏拖鞋；帽子围巾手套。这里大家都穿得很随便，除非有什么特别特别重要的场合，不过也是很少的，我就从来没见过我老板打领带。夏天在实验室里不要指望像国内那样穿得短短的，像短裤裙子，都太凉，倒是Tshirt长裤加薄外套最实用；冬天也不可能穿很多，太热，一件薄毛衣甚至一件长袖Tshirt加件外套就足够了。即使在室外，考虑到犹他这地方的气候特征，穿的几率最低的就是毛衣（夏天太热，冬天透风），所以千万千万别带超过5件毛衣1条毛裤，实在是费力不讨好。冬天高帮防滑的皮鞋可以考虑带一双，不过我们家都只穿运动鞋，都是在这边买的。另外，好一点的太阳镜和遮阳帽是需要的。如果喜欢运动的话，运动短裤带两条，泳衣可带可不带，其实一般的运动器具在这里都能买到，而且质量比国内同等价位的要好很多，特别指出的是，乒乓球拍。 [top] 用：外伤用药：正红花油，京万红烫伤药（甚好），紫药水，云南白药；创可贴带够；好用的眼药水一定要带，包括消炎的和消除疲劳的；其他感冒药肠胃药，根据个人情况带好自己常用的有效的几种。另外，建议带一个能晾一周的袜子的可折叠袜架，周末洗衣服很方便。衣架不用带，带几个裤架。眼镜多配两副备用，隐形眼镜药水不用带。毛巾不用带很多，够刚来的时候用就行。被子带一床中等厚度的就足够一年四季使用了，因为夏天这里白天再热，一到晚上就很凉（山地气候），而冬天室内都有暖气，所以也用不着厚被子。被套两床，床单可以到这里买，因为还不知道床的尺寸，如果嫌贵也可以带两床尽量大的过来；枕头我觉得不用带，除非你对某种什么特殊材质的枕头有偏爱，这里很好买；枕套倒是可以带两个，可以选择自己喜欢的颜色花样。如果用的护肤品是国货又对其舍弃不下，可以带点自己喜欢的，不过我个人用的是固定的几个国外的牌子，在这里很容易买到而且折算下来比国内便宜。女生如果对自己的头发又很高的期望值，可以带几个有中国风味的发饰；喜欢化妆的，到这里来买好了，相信谁都知道美保莲是美国货。男生剃须刀带一个就行了，这里有卖3头的，我老公觉得很好用，也不贵。 其他还有什么个人生活用品就自己看着办，还是那句话，除了绝对中国特色的东西，这里都能买到，即使没有车，网上购物也一样，安全方便快捷。还要提醒一点，这里的电压是110v，如果实在有什么电器要买（譬如说充电器一类的），注意使用电压。 [top] 学：简明小英汉辞典或者文曲星，金山词霸；与自己所作方向相关的专业书；笔袋及够用3个月的基本文具即可；书包也可以过来再买，不过你也可以在国内买一个大一点的，过来的时候作随身包装东西用，到了以后又可以做真正的书包用；笔记本一类的东西绝对不用带，随身带个小小的记事本还比较有意义，或者直接带个掌上的东东好了。 综上所述，盐湖城是一个购物很方便的地方，物价也不贵，所以实在没有必要摆出搬家的架势带东西。只要基本的东西带齐了，其他的可以来了再买。不过强烈建议，最好是来之前给自己列好清单（可以参考一下父母家人的意见），什么已经带了，什么需要来了以后马上去买（包括我上面提到的以及你自己的特殊需要），因为这里买东西没有车是不可能的，但是谁也没有时间每天外出购物，所以最好是列好清单，按单办理，一趟搞定。 Housing On-Campus Housing Housing & Residential Education (all furnished): Choice Restrictions Type Kithcen Shoreline Graduate Students Only Single/Family Yes Benchmark Senior Undergraduates Single Yes Sage Point Undergraduates Single No Chapel Glen Undergraduates Single No Gateway Heights Undergraduates Single No University Student Apartments (both unfurnished): Choice Restrictions Type Kithcen University Village Undergraduate/Graduate Family Yes Medical Plaza Undergraduate/Graduate Single/Family Yes Note: "Unfurnished" means there is NO BED! Off-Campus Housing Many students choose to live off-campus. The rent for one-bed room ranges around $350-500, and $50-700 for 2-bed room. And you might need to pay electricity, gas utility and cable (internet). Usually you will need to sign a lease for at least 6 months. Many landlords ask for deposit (less than 1 month's rent). PLEASE consult your department-mates or lab-mates before you sign the lease in case you were cheated. The deposit will be returned to you when you leave. You should notify your landlord a month in advance. The rooms may be furnished or unfurnished. You can get housing info from the Chinese Mailing List, the Salt Lake Tribune, campus posters, Public board and etc. Airport Pick Up If you need a pick up from the airport, please send the following information to cssauu@gmail.com. Fields with * are required. Last Name* First Name* Gender Department in U of U Email* Flight* Arrival Date* Estimated Arrival Time Housing Status (Solved/Unsolved)* Other Needs Phonecard/Cell Phone Phonecard After your arrival, you may want to call back home. Most peole use phonecards to make internatioanl calls. When choosing a phonecard, there are a few thing you need to look at: Price/Minute. However, low prices card sometimes can not guarantee the communication quality. Hidden fees. Some phonecards may have appealing price/minute, but they may also have hidden fees, like connection fee and/or maintenance fee (weekly or monthly). Expiration. Some phonecards may have expiration time, i.e., it will be invalid after certain time even if the balance on the card is larger than 0. You can shop phonecards online at various vendors, like 1stphonecard.com. (If you know other good vendors, please email us at cssauu@gmail.com. ) As a newcomer, you probabily need to ask someone else to buy a phonecard for you since online shopping requires debit card/credit card. Cell Phone For cell phone, there are two choices. You can buy a prepaid one, which works very similar as in China. However, the rate is usually higher compared to the other choice - family plans. The advantage is that you do not need anything to buy it except money. Another choice is family plans. For example, $70 for 700min/month. The point is that you usually need to share the family plan with others. You can visit those vendors' websites, like at&t, t-mobil, verizon, sprint, just name a few. However, a better choice is third party seller, like amazon. The reason is that third party seller usually have better selections for cellphones. The disadvantage for family plans is that you must have a social security number to apply for it. Transportation The Trax, UTA-buses and Campus Shuttles here are always on time, strictly run according to the schedule. You can take Campus Shuttles to places near campus. You can get the timetable from the Union Building (2nd floor) You need to take Trax or UTA-bus to other places. You can take them for FREE with your UTA ED-Pass. You can get the timetable at many places such as Shopping Malls, Grocery Stores, Libraries, and Union Building's Front Desk. Social Security Number Social Security cards are used for various identification purposes on campus and in the community. A U.S. Social Security number must be obtained in order for you to start your new job (and get paid!), get a driver’s license, and open a bank checking account. There are many benefits of getting a Social Security card, so apply now!

On one hand, it's inconvenient and unsafe to carry too much cash, on the other hand most online shoppings require a banking account (debit card/credit card, etc.). You can open an account with your passport and your social security number (SSN). Generally you need to open two accounts: saving account (with interest) and checking account (with no/low interest, for your using checks and debit card). You can apply for an ATM card and/or Debit Card (with VISA or MasterCard marks) when you open an account. Debit card is very convenient for newcomers without credit card. You can pay directly from your account. Many banks require SSN to open a checking account, like the University Credit Union. However, Wells Fargo Bank allows you to open a checking account with your passport and visa (more accurately, two photo ID). There are different kinds of checking accounts. Some are free, i.e. without monthly maintenance fee. The others require a minimum balance for your account; if your balance is less than it, you will be charged service fee monthly. Once you set up a checking account, you can write checks as a means of payment. Make sure that the money in your account can pay for the checks you write, or you and the recipient of the checks will be fined. There are three branches of the University Credit Union on campus: one at the Bookstore, one at the School of Medical and one at the Research Park. On 1300E (near the President Circle), there are branches for Wells Fargo Bank and Key Bank. There are two ways of getting your stipend. You can get a check from your dept monthly and deposit to your account by yourself, or you can set up direct deposit so that the money will be paid directly to your account. The latter is more convenient. [top] Credit Card You almost can not live in the states without credit card, such as shopping, car-maintenance, loan, and car-rental. You can not only use credit card for expense, but also for the accumulation of your personal credit. Different from the cards in China, the credit card companies do not care how much money in your bank account; they will ask whether you have income, and independent account. Chinese students will pay the bill on time, so the interest rate of the credit card is not important to us. Only when you can not pay the bill will the card companies ask for interest. Whether there is annul fee, where it can be used and the credit limit are more important to us. It might be difficult to apply for Credit card when you first arrive, but it is easier to apply for American Express and Optima student card. Use your current address for the home address. BTW, you'd better write your credit card number and its service phone number down somewhere When you lose the card, call the company about it immediately to avoid unnecessary loss.

美国Michigan State University生活指南
|
在MSU的消费水平 It depends. The cost of living varies from person to person. Even for the same person, it may be different in different months. What we published here is just a reference for you. Appartment Rent: ~$375/month (one room) ~700/month (one apartment in total) may be a little cheaper for off-campus aparment Utilities: ~$30-100/month (one apartment, only for the off-campus apartment) Food: ~$200 - 300/month (assume not dining out) Transportation: $50/semester to buy a CATA bus pass; or ~$200/month to drive your own car (include gas plus auto insurance, it varies a lot among different people at different time) High Speed Internet/Cable: ~$60/month (only if you are in an off-campus apartment) Cell Phone: ~$45/month Some living expenses will reduce if you can find someone to share, like rent, utilities, Internet/cable, or even cell phone. Hope it helps. 新生报名接机 目前cssa提供秋季接机服务。请填写相应表格 我们在找到相应的愿意接机的同学以后，将主要通过email和您进行联系。 住房的申请流程 因住地不同，都略有区别。这里就以校内住房（Spartan Village, Cherry Lane）进行说明。】 (以下过程主要适用于研究生，本科生申请请上网，或者电话联系学院。) 准备事项： 你现在手中需要有： 1. I20 2. 你的学生号码，是一个以A开头的8位数。比如：A33224567 3. 申请费$40+第一个月房租（300到400不等） 4. 申请表 5. 如果想根一个中国人一起住，那你就还需要找到一个室友。找室友请到我们bbs的楼盘信息版。 申请过程： 1. 首先和University Housing取得联系，确定还有空房，最好也问清楚申请截止时间。电话：517-355-9550 2. 填写申请表，注意和你选好的室友在roommate request填上对方信息。 3. 寄出申请费+第一个房租（可以到银行买汇票）+申请表，最好使用特快专递。如果你和你找的室友能够用同一个信封寄申请表自然更好。 4. 一个星期后，应该已经寄到，注意查收email，或者多打电话给U housing询位。 5. 搞定 住房条件： 大多数新生，尤其是研究生，都会住在spartan village或者cherry lane，因为便宜，又可以自己烧饭。 Owen Hall,Shaw Hall等地方主要针对本科生。附近有两条铁路线和一条告诉公路线。虽然比较吵，但是绝大多数人在很短时间里面都能适应。 房屋设计平面图，服务项目等可以在http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uh/campus/apartments/apartment_info.html 找到。 房间选项的区别： furnished vs. unfurnished: 一个装修过，一个没有 carpeted: 有个地毯 uncarpeted: 也还好，没有地毯其实对于我们来说更习惯。 renovated: 最为豪华，木制地板，厨房有额外灯具 另外，最好申请15××或者16××编号的房间，这样可以离公路和火车较远。 考驾照• 概述 • 笔试 • 路考 驾照（Driver's Licence）是所谓的PhotoID的一种。PhotoID，顾名思意，就是有照片的ID，这种ID可以作为你买酒喝酒的凭证，也可以在你需要签订房契的时候发挥作用。他兼具State ID的功用。 考驾照分为笔试和路考两个部分。笔试在Secretary Of State（简称SoS），路考则需要到各个驾校。 SoS网站：http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-50050---,00.html 笔试 1. 复习What every driver must know。也就是考试手册，可以在SoS免费领取； 2. 护照，I94； 3. 学生证； 4. 房租复印件； 5. 考试费。带上Paycheck即可；（考试费可以考过以后领PERMIT时再交） 6. Social Security Number 或者 letter of ineligibility； 此外，最好还可以带上： 7. Gas, water, sewer, electricity, land-line phone, or cable television bill。对于SpartanVillage居民来说，打印Student Receiveable的balance即可。 8. 银行的statement； 9. Life, home, auto, or health insurance policy。 还有： 10. 国内驾照（如果有的话）及其翻译件；翻译件可以自己翻译好，填好打印好，找个中国人（需要是研究生或者教授）看一下让他签字就可以了，你可以找几个经常能碰面的人相互签， 无所谓的.。翻译模板下载地址： http://www.oiss.msu.edu/document ... ense_tranlation.pdf Note： 如果有国内驾照并翻译成为英文以获得WAVER，你会没有LEARNING PERMIT, 而且身份是不同于初考者的--这样的身份是TRANSFER驾照，那就必须在30天以内通过路考，否则就必须从新考过笔试再说。 东西备齐，只需要在SoS的上班时间(请查找SoS网站)前去即可。你需要在规定时间在SoS完成一定数量的题目 目前中文是40道 错8题以下（含8题）过 英文是50道 错10题以下（含10题）过 。（个人建议 如果在国内没开过车 或者看了一下复习的那个资料 还是考英文比较好 因为中文的翻译不是很地道 而且英文附加的10题识图题很简单） 路考 Once you pass the paper test, the SoSwill issue you a temporary learning permit that is good for you topractice driving up to 180 days. They will also give you a paper thatlists the agencies carrying the road skill test in Ingham county. Afteryour 30 days practicing period, grab the phone and make an appointment.My friends and I used Mr R Driving School. They charge $5 more but they are said to be less strict or even more if you rent a car from them (another $25 Darn!!!). You have two chances for passing the roadtest there. Other driving schools are equally fine, I have heard nocomplaint so far! Shop around and find the one that suits you best! Things to bring for the road test: 1. Everything you bring to the SoS for paper test 2. Learning permit 3. Vehicle registration and certificate of insurance if you borrow a car 4. $50, 考试费。 The test includes two parts: 1.Court test: reverse the vehicle into designated lanes and parallelparking (similar to the domestic court test but much eaiser) You can go to the site to practice well ahead of time. 2.Road test. This test lasts approximately for 30 minutes. The coach will ask you to drive on almost every possible situations (local,residential, school area, road construction, rail tracks, highway,freeway). You'll be asked to switch lanes, turn on/off radios, etc. In short, this is different from the road test in China. You can only perform well if you do know how to drive (not just having a license).Practice makes perfect, this is good for yourself and other people onthe road. Too many drive like maniacs. Do not ask about the "route" and wish to pass the test by chance. Be a responsible citizen! Part C Get your license Congratulations!After paying Michigan government $$$, you finally get licensed! Nextstep, buy your own vehicle and enjoy the American auto culture! Pleaserefer to the specific entry on this website about how to buy a usedcar. Good luck and drive safe. MSU的天气情况 查询网站 http://www.weather.com/ 在zip code （邮政编码）一栏输入48824即可 基本概况 密歇根的冬天比较寒冷，温度可达零下【？】，寒风刺骨。但是室内暖气充足。只是对于没有车的朋友来说，需要在公车站等公车的时候注意防寒。 密歇根的夏季最为炎热的时间大约有两周。这段时间比较难以入睡。如果是住在SpartanVillage或者CherryLane，没有空调，日子就稍微难过些。 手机办理 • Verizon Wireless • T-Mobile • 如何使用国内手机 Verizon Wireless编辑本段回目录优点：个人觉得是这边信号最好的手机 因为据说这边设有他们的一个信号发射台。 而且这边有庞大的VERIZON用户群--我是指研究生，所以针对美国手机同公司间拨打免费这一点来说非常有利； 缺点：款式貌似不是很多--也可能是我买的时候正好没有很多；不能装卡，所以不能用于国内手机； 办理方法：这边最多情况是FAMILY PLAN 就是几个人。其中一个人为主线(host)，其他人和他一起SHARE每月固定的免费分钟数。可以加入3至5条LINE，而且每条LINE的通话情况都有详细记录，所以钱可以几个人按通话情况算。每月多少分钟是可以自己选的。包括700，1400，2100分钟等等。一般来说，两个人700，3个人1400，四五个人2100。以上标准仅供参考，要是你的plan里面有个煲爱情电话粥的GG或者MM，则另当别论。 http://www22.verizon.com/ # 收费标准： 免费项目 Verizon to Verizon免费； 周一至周五晚9点至次日早上5点免费。 周六周日免费； 收费项目 在周一至周五，早5点至晚9点，接听和拨打非Verizon用户，均算作plan的分钟数消耗。特别注意：接听是要计算分钟数的！不少同学已经吃过这个亏了。在Plan feature一栏中，有一个IN Calling Unlimited，这里的IN = In Network，不要以为是所有的接听都免费！ Plan的分钟数用完后，按每分钟$0.35收费，当然，这是指你在收费时段拨打非Verizon电话的情况。 短信收费； 其它注意事项 Update你的plan，比如从700分钟提升为1400分钟，则billing cycle从update当天重新开始记录。 缴纳电话费，登陆http://www.verizonwireless.com/； 非常重要：拨打#646，则会收到一则免费短信，提醒你现在已经使用的分钟数，方便你掌握电话使用。 |
