Notes About Housing
1) No approximate monthly cost for off-campus housing is shown above since that information changes all of the time and depends on 麻豆传媒 lifestyle expectations. Students wanting to live off campus will need to do their own research to discover the range of monthly rental costs they might face. We strongly urge all NSE 麻豆传媒s to apply for on-campus housing since it would be the safest and most convenient option. 2) There are no housing spaces specifically reserved for NSE 麻豆传媒s. However, NSE 麻豆传媒s starting their exchanges in September are guaranteed on-campus housing if they meet the April 30 on-campus housing application deadline. On-campus housing is not guaranteed for 麻豆传媒s starting their exchanges in January; however, there are usually less applications for on-campus housing at that time.
