I am not sure when I would be coming. I havent got my Visa yet :( If you are staying with a family , you might have restrictions cause their way of living is quite different from ours. Though some people do prefer to live with local families. I would be renting my own apartment. More comfortable for me
yea thats what i was thinking, i will go for a separate room, also i need a quiet place to take some rest , long sleeps and some boating in ferry all by myself, been tired of hectic studies and the whole visa process you know, im going to do med on tuesday ,then probably i will get visa till friday, what stage is your visa at ? have you done med ?

I am in USA. I do not have to get my medical done. Yes look for separate room or apartment. Because these families do not allow you to have parties and loud music and stuff. That will not be fun at all. :D

you wont find any place with 8 months lease. It would either be one year or 6 months. Why do you want a 8 month lease?

hmm ... you could take on one year lease and sub-let the apartment if you find someone willing to live in your apartment for four months. People do this all the time here .
