Some apartments come furnished; others do not. If you are in need of furniture, please reach out to the DGS or to current students. We can’t guarantee that some will be available, but we can certainly ask around and see what folks have to share.
Getting Around
Some of our students have cars and others get around on foot or by public transport. Many apartments are within walking distance. Some students walk in all weathers, but you should be aware that our winters can be quite cold and snowy. The university maintains a Shuttle Service that will take you to any part of campus. Our local Centro bus system also works closely with the university to provide several routes within the city (scroll all way down for Centro info). With your SUID, you’ll have free service within the free-fare zone and a $1 charge for ridges outside the free-fare zone. The area also has Uber and Lyft but these options can be expensive, especially on game days and times the university is hosting other major events.
If you plan to drive while with us, the International Center maintains a page on the requirements for driving in the US.
Cell Phone Access
Before setting up an individual cell phone plan, you may want to reach out to current CCR international students for advice on accessing group plans, information on particular carriers that may make the most sense for you, or other options.
