What To Expect

International Share Houses can be a great way to start your student experience in the USA. Here are some responsibilities to consider.

  • You will respect your roommates' private room spaces and get along with roommates.

  • You will provide your own personal accessories like wash soap, toothpaste, toiletries, laundry detergent, etc.

  • You must clean up after yourself, and share kitchen utensils and household furniture.
  • Weekly chores (take out trash and cleaning common areas) are typical in your assigned areas.
  • You will share the expense of kitchen dish washing soap and bathroom cleaning supplies. (usually $1.00 -$2.00 per month depending on usage)
  • The Share house may not be within walking distance to school.
  • Each Share house has its own House Rules. There is no smoking, no drugs, and no pets at all Share houses.
