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.
