LODGING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Tips For Other Accommodations:
Our recommendation is to stay as close to work as possible, especially during the winter months. In the winter, you want to be close to work due to inclement weather and because you will be walking to work. In the summer, you may live a little further out from the city because you can purchase a bicycle for about $90 dollars.
Be careful when placing deposits on rooms. Some people might try to take advantage of new students by taking money and not providing a place to stay. Others might put students in inappropriate or unsanitary housing hoping that they will not report anything. If you are in a housing situation with too many students, that breaks health codes, forces you to live in unsanitary conditions, or other issues don't be afraid to reach out to your sponsors and employers.
If you have problems with your housing:1- Call your sponsor company immediately 2- Notify your workplace manager 3- Call the Atlantic City Town Hall: Atlantic City Fire Department: 1-609-347-5590 Atlantic City Bureau of Housing Inspection: 1-609-633-6227 Atlantic City Police Department: 1-609-347-5779
Your visa cannot be cancelled for reporting bad housing conditions!
Lodging prices vary by landlord. When selecting a place to live, make sure you have a reputable landlord. Some landlords in Atlantic City will put 20 people in a small apartment. Stay away from those landlords.
Rent should cost between 120 and 180 dollars per person per week. It should include: electricity, cable, internet, water, heat, and bedding. Most landlords require a 300 dollar refundable deposit.
