Houses in New York

When I go to study in New York, 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. Old students in some schools usually start to sign for a house for the next academic year in the first semester (fall), but most of the old students usually start looking for houses in the spring semester.
