Before deciding to sign the contract, can I come to Charlottesville to see the apartment?

Yes, we encourage students to see the apartment in person before deciding to sign the contract, so that they can have a more direct feeling about the apartment. However, we must admit that many students want to move in as soon as they arrive in the United States, and the closer the school start is, the higher the price and the fewer good apartments available. Therefore, students should decide when to sign a contract according to their actual situation.

When I go to study in Charlottesville, when should I start applying for housing?

According to the school's local house-hunting habits, market supply, and individual needs, the time to start house-hunting varies for each school. And the start time is different for new students and returning students. For new students, they usually start to pay attention to renting houses after obtaining the school admission notice or confirmation to study in the local area, usually in April and May. We suggest that students formally apply for and sign for an apartment after receiving the I20 form. There are also a lot of new students who will come to the United States in advance and decide to sign up after seeing the apartment on site. Old students, that is returning students, the time they look for housing is more spread across the year.

I booked an apartment, but when I arrived, I found it did not meet my expectations, what should I do?

Students are requested to contact the apartment management office directly to report any dissatisfaction and discuss with the apartment party. If there is no room for renewal and you do not want to break the contract, the best way is to sublet the house to someone else. We strongly discourage moving out of an apartment without informing the parties involved. Because in the United States, once the contract is signed, the contract becomes effective. If you do not move in or move out directly, it is equivalent to unilaterally breaking the contract and you will incur high penalties.
