PSU学校提供的学生宿舍,不算太贵,而且种类多。由于刚来的同学没车,住学校无疑是很方便的。而且相对
downtown的房子和价格比而言,学校房子算很好了。这里中国学生学者普通的房价范围是:一室一厅
$450到$600, 两室一厅
$650到$700, Studio单房带厨房浴室在
$450以上。房价在一个学生月收入 1/3
到 1/2
($300-$450)是普通的情况。算一个人的助学金在$800上下,由于伙食开销一般在
$100到$200 (节省的话),房租基本上是最大的日常开销(一般在$300-$500)。
住房需签Lease。签合同之前应问清合同期限,垃圾、水、排污水、电、电话费用一般不包括在房租中。应问清房租是否包括其中几项。签Lease一般需交押金,损坏或污损物品,在离开时会被从中扣除。房子Lease签订好后一般不能提前解约,可找人Sublease以提前离开,一般应于离开前一个月通知房东。
签房注意事项:
1.租金多少?包括什么(水、电、洗衣、污水、停车)?
2.可住几人?
3.何时、怎样付房租?
4.若有roommate,一旦某一人离开,由谁负责剩下部分?
5.什么条件下押金可全部退回?
6.租期多长?房东进入权是怎么回事?(Landlord's right of
entry)
7.可否养小动物?
8.维修问题?

D.2.1) Host Family
Note: a group of warm-hearted American people volunteered a "coffee house" program which holds regular events for international students. They also have the service to help you to find an American Host Family.
. 即找一美国友好家庭入住,有的还包括一日几餐。费用由双方商量。利弊 :练口语的天堂兼了解美国社会生活的窗口。设施齐全,如遇到好客的房主更会受益良多。但由于生活习惯迥异容易产生矛盾。不能做中餐-----油烟太大。可能离校较远,鱼与熊掌不可得兼。

学校所在的市区 ,公共交通较为便利 。这为初来的学生和学者提供了很大的方便 。 常用的公交资源有 :
公 共 汽 车 及轻轨列车
(7) Fare: $1.05~$3
购票方式: 一定要准备好零钱, 因为车上只有司机一人操作且全为机器收钱 ,不找钱。 乘客均从前门上车, 将钱投入司机旁的金属盒中。
上车: 几路汽车经常公用一个车站, 所以要特别注意驶来的汽车前方的显示牌,以保证不上错车。
下车:
车厢内两旁各有一根弦线贯串始终。
当乘客要下车时就拉一下弦线,前方就响一下铃,并亮灯,司机将会在最近的车站停车。有许多站,但并不是每站都停,
只有当站上有人等车或乘客要求下车时,才会停车。所以,出发前,一定要对所去的地方有个大概的了解(指街道名),以便拉铃下车。
如果实在不知道,可向司机寻求帮助,他(她)会提醒你该在何处下车。
资料索取:学校的Smith Memorial Center (Broadway)提供免费的路线图及时间表。各路车上也有本路线的资料。
买自行车有很多途径. 经常留意一下Chinatown,
偶尔有价廉物美的二手自行车转手,
不过也有一小撮人极不地道, 骗新同学,当你拿不定主意时,
最好找老生帮着看一看.您还是买新车吧.
新车并非很贵, 如果赶上感恩节, 据说"跳楼价"都能赶上.
不过平时有几家百货店卖的也不贵. 一家是Kmart,
70美元一辆,
十速山地车, 男式女士均有. 另一家是Target,
就在Albany.
也有不少价廉价廉物美的自行车供选择. 还有就是Costco.
许多人采用自 行 车作为交通工具,有两点需特别注意:
人身安全: 由于“山路崎岖”(略有夸张)及“车水马龙”,头盔非常重要。否则十几年寒窗便白辛苦了。
PSU--PDX 机场
方法之一:12 路车到终点站下车。但停很多次,需提前出门。
方法之二:坐Tri-Met Shuttle, 于五街的Hilton Hotel 门口可等到,每小时一趟。
