Predeparture Information
Overnight Accommodations

You may arrive at your final destination in advance of the date when you can move into your permanent housing, or you may have to spend the night in an intermediate city. There are a number of choices when temporary, overnight accommodations are required. The most expensive are hotels and motels, but some "budget" motel chains can be quite reasonable. Other options include the local YMCA or YWCA, youth hostels, international houses, and at some schools, university residences. It is always best to check with the international student adviser for information on overnight housing options.
