Question Bringing spouse to SGU?
What is life really like at SGU? Is it impossible for one's spouse to find a job? If I were to come to SGU would I be able to bring my dog? My husband is an audio recorder and records bands would be be able to obtain a work visa and do this in our house?

SGU has a significant others group that you may find helpful if you're planning to bring your spouse. Here's a link to their site soorgsgu - Calendar of Events.

Life is fine. My spouse is with me (and our 2 kids) and we all enjoy it. Your spouse will most likely not be able to get a work visa since unemployment is 60% in GND and jobs are reserved for locals. Some spouses work from home -graphic design, financial trading, photography, etc but they are working remotely for their companies in the US. I think the only way you could swing a visa is if some local band needed your spouse to help them out and helped to get the visa approved. You can bring your dog - there are lots of students with pets in GND - though you will have to find off-campus housing.

I even know of an SO that was able to get a job as a divemaster. A local Dive shop trained him and everything.

I heard about that too. I guess they will train you for free and then you work it off by being a divemaster for them. Not sure if any money changes hands.

I think he will be making some money after a bit. I think he just was looking for something to do.
