Notes:
It is wise to budget more money for the first month to cover
any potential unexpected costs. For example, some families
end up paying for temporary accommodation, renting a car
to look for permanent housing, buying furniture, etc.
The International
Student Services Office does receive some donations of furniture,
household goods and clothing to help new students set up
a home. Check to see what is available when you arrive at
Regent.
