Housing

Finding an apartment or house for rent is one of the first major goals when arriving here.

You can find information through universities housing offices, local newspapers and the Internet. It is advisable to organize a room from Switzerland for the first few weeks (local contacts and newsgroups may be helpful)

After arrival the first steps should be to get a Social Security Number, a US driver ID, and a bank account. All three can be extremely helpful for searching for an apartment. Housing in some areas in the US are pretty expensive. People leaving in Zurich, Geneva or Lausanne will have a sense of déjà-vu. Due to the high rents, it makes sense to rent a room in a shared household if one is single.
