Hi everyone!
I'm enrolling in MSU's PhD program this Summer, so i am interested in understanding the city a little bit more.
First, what are some interesting entertainment avenues (bars, pubs, clubs, bowling alleys etc)?
Secondly, what sort of living accommodations do you recommend? I know it's a personal preference type of thing, but for example, are there companies that do match you with potential roommates? What are housing rates that are appropriate (I'm thinking without roommates at first)? It doesn't need to be fancy, but it has to be close to the school or at least close to the bus lines as I won't drive.
Also, since I am an international student, how does the lease work? Do I use the stipend papers I will receive in the future as proof of income and that's it or do they usually require something else (deposit maybe)?
Thanks.
