live in NYC can sometimes be difficult on your own. That's why Bluedata offers
optional housing assistance to its international students. These housing
options range from local home stays to private apartments, depending on the
student's budget and personal preference. Students may speak to their agent
regarding further information on housing options in NYC.

Fees-Optional fees for details.
Home
Stay
Living
with an American host family is not only a great way to improve your English,
but also to learn and experience the culture. Upon a student's request,
Bluedata is able to introduce host families to students who they can live with
during their time of study in the US. Price range is $800 to $1,000 per month
with meals provided.
Apartment
Finding the right
apartment in New York is one of the most important things to accomplish and may
not be so easy. Therefore, upon student's request, Bluedata is able to
introduce apartments with reasonable rents in Manhattan and other boroughs
(Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island). Price is anywhere between $600
(shared) and $1,500.
