x*******i 发帖数: 17 | 2 看前边的文章,HD的房子已经没有了,HC的似乎也需要排号。。
我的DS表这周才到手,请问还有哪里比较有可能找到合适的房子?
另外请问住学校里的同学,是不是只有学生会主页上介绍的Parklawn Hall?
J1身份的可以租校内公寓么?

zi 发帖数: 363 | 3 some apartments are in walking distance to campus.
some are on the route of UI cambus ( Pentacrest, every 15 minutes ). They
are a little bit more expensive, more or less 300$ per month. |

where is Parklawn Hall ? Never heard about it...
Yes, for sure. |

x******m 发帖数: 736 | 6 想过去的时候买些家具。发现uiowa cssa里面卖东西的都挺贵的。旧家具都卖好几十刀
,一辆88年的车还卖800刀。呵呵。还是俺们这白人大叔大婶实在,很新的沙发也就20
来刀。 |
|
x******m 发帖数: 736 | 7 我申请了HD,HC的。如果不去那,交的deposit能不能拿回来? |
|
a*******n 发帖数: 145 | 8 yes, you can take the deposit back, but there are $20 handling fee. |
|
P******8 发帖数: 396 | 9 xydotcom ,你申请到的是HD OR HC 呀? |
|
x******m 发帖数: 736 | 10 I got an offer from HC. |
|
x******m 发帖数: 736 | 11 还是要自己买一个?俺们这学校在墙里面都装了,所以不用自己再装一个。 |
|
a*******n 发帖数: 145 | 12 要自己买个无线的router,学校只提供cable modem入户 |
|
x******m 发帖数: 736 | 13 顺便问一下,在aptment用bt会不会给封啦? |

n*******u 发帖数: 114 | 18 马上要转到iowa了
请问IC的房租怎么样
大家都在哪里租房? |
|
f********e 发帖数: 283 | 19 欢迎欢迎,一般中国人找Hawkeye Court(HC) 或者Hawkeye Drive(HD)的房子,那边房租
价格比较公道,中国人多,不怕没人跟你玩。可以通过学校先联系。 |
|
n*******u 发帖数: 114 | 20 HC的单人间已经没有了
申请了HD的房子双人房
还要一个多星期才知道结果
其实很想在校外住的,因为我现在就是在校外
感觉很自由的 |

p********e 发帖数: 32 | 23 除了打包一切都搞定了
就是老问题,什么必要带什么不用带
主要就是不知道iowa city是什么样的一个消费水平,,比如衣服啊日用啊,我是女生
但是衣服收拾来收拾去也只装了不到一个大箱子,鞋就带了2双,,(被我妈臭骂了一
顿~~~·)
我总觉得穿的用的这些东西本来也爱买新的,在北京去商场买不也得上百么,就准备杀
过去随用随买,这样ok吗?
还有别人新送了一个giant的可以折叠的小自行车,超可爱,狂想带过来,是不是特不
实际啊。。。
还有还有,家里人给准备了n件床上用品。。。搞得跟结婚似的,各种新被子什么的,
有必要带吗?
谢谢大家啦呵呵 |
|
c*v 发帖数: 151 | 24 衣服鞋都可以在这边买,挺便宜的,床上用品我觉得最好在国内准备好了,这边很贵,而且
少.iowa city附近的williamsburg有个比较大的outlet,衣服,鞋都很便宜. |
|
n*******u 发帖数: 114 | 25 这里衣服鞋便宜,
但是漂亮好看而合身的不多,款式也不多
被子要那么多干啥?
都是空调房,暖气房的,一床足矣,不带也罢
床单可以带的,
那个小自行车很诱人,好像这边没有看到,没有注意过,也许孤陋寡闻
btw,我在Iowa仅住过一夜,:) |
|
a*******n 发帖数: 145 | 26 "小自行车,超可爱,狂想带过来", but特不实际.
Most of the students take cambus, though some ride bicycles to climb small
hills, which are not easy for compact/convertable mini bikes. BTW, bikes are
not allowed in downtown pedistrian area. |
|
n*******u 发帖数: 114 | 27 对,记得了,IC那个地方上坡下坡特多的
are |
|
l*****o 发帖数: 26631 | 28 你要是追求时尚的话建议你多带点衣服过来。 你要是觉得Tshirt牛仔裤就可以了的话
就少带点。
被子一床够了
自行车就算了吧, 有这点空间不如多带点其它东西 |

t*s 发帖数: 1504 | 30 校外的公寓(walking distance到校园或者有公汽的)有哪些popular的,给几个名字吧
校内哪家手机信号比较好(有校园的promotion么)
新生第一张信用卡一般申请哪个?(比如那种local的和银行卡一起的那种, not
debit card)
申请learner permit要ssn么,passport+i20行不
从cedar rapids到iowa city有public transportation么
再加两个dumb request。。。
给几个校外的宽带isp的名字吧。。。
给几个二手家具店的名字吧。。。
谢了谢了 |

a*******n 发帖数: 145 | 33 Finkbine is one popular choice, but I would like grade it a C+ according to
my experience.
Verizon is a great mobile phone provider, promotion depends on your luck.
If you open an account in any local bank, it may issue you a small amount
credit card, VISA or Master.
Get your SSN as soon as possible, it is more important than the permit.
No idea about any public transportation between these two sites.
ISP: Media.com
Cambus stations, BBS for used furnitures.
No thanks you cuty :)

lots of apartments in Newton Rd area ... But one of the owners Hodge
construction who just set a spot in UI capital mall is very very DARK!!! You
almost get nothing back from the deposit, be prepared !
It is cheaper to get one on line, say, www.letstalk.com
For your first CC, USbank is a good choice.
SSN needed
Yes, but better call for reservation
no idea, google it...
walking around downtown, you will find some... |

请大家给点建议! |

y*********w 发帖数: 245 | 39 msu是哪? michigan state? missouri state? mississippi state? 北面可能是michig

都一样 |

j*****l 发帖数: 73 | 42 大家好,我拿到了UIOWA生统Ph.D的offer,共19,896同时还有大约4,000tuition
scholarship,但我看到州内学费大约8000是不是说我还得那出4000交学费,我应该还
剩16,000,平均每月1,333。我和老婆一起去iowa city,不知道这些钱够不够,能有
剩余吗?如果把孩子带上还够吗? |

j*******g 发帖数: 36 | 43 sorry

统计类在Iowa city附近找intern容易吗?
消费水平呢?比如房租?谢谢 |

l******x 发帖数: 163 | 45 I have two questions about the in-state tution policy in iowa.
(1) If I am TA/RA in ISU, can my wife pay in-state tution in UIowa?
I know that different universities have their own policy on this issue.
(2) If my wife applied in China and get admission to ISU, can she pay in-
state
tution? I know a lot F2 transfer to F1 and pay in-state tution, but I am
not sure what is the case if my wife ccome to ISU directly with F1 visa.
Any suggestions would be appreciated~
Thanks |

d****i 发帖数: 363 | 47 In your case, you probably would need to file Form 1040NR which is for Non-
Resident income tax. You can either find a local CPA firm or use CINTAX (UI
should provide it) to file your tax return. It's still too early to start
the tax return preparation as you won't have enough tax information until
Jan. 2009. FYI, you can check this out:

见。
决定来Iowa了?其实不用现在找,过来以后先找个临时住处住上几天,四处多看看再找
要好点,反正现在经济不好很多人都巴不得在家里租个房间出去,这种临时地方挺好找
的。来了以后再慢慢找合适的免得找错地方后悔。Effciency应该就是一间屋子同时做
客厅厨房卧室的那种,地方小,便宜,不过要是做饭的话估计味道很难散掉。 |

b********s 发帖数: 152 | 49 如果你没有车,建议你还是住学校的apartment (HD or HC),坐Cambus很方便。
