Before the exchange actually takes place it is necessary
to have an understanding of the programs and profile of the university
you will be attending.One of the ideal ways to accomplish this
is thru the respective universities web sites. Information on
classes, accomodations, and the local area are available thru
university web pages as well as this site.
- Off-Campus housing averages
These averages were calculated on the basis of what Off Campus
Housing has listed. Different areas of St. John's have different
rates of rent, but due to the lack of variety of listings, averages
could not be tabulated that way.
