Hitting the island on April 27th. Hopefully that is enough time. Anyone have an idea what the cost of living in like?

i just got in for fall 08

hi every one i will be there at the end of April for may of 08. i look forward to see every one and wish you all good luck.i hope it is a very good start for every one including myself.

Cost of living is about the same as in the states. Apartments run anywhere from $400 US to $1000 depending on how high quality you want. Internet and cable combined are $100. Electric and water can be pretty pricey but it depends on the area of the island you live in. Try to get an apartment with the utilities included (makes it a lot cheaper in the long run). Meals run anywhere from a couple dollars to $15-20 for a sit down meal. Groceries are about the same as in the US. Some items are cheaper, some higher but it really isn't to much of a drastic change either way if you have been living on your own paying your own bills before you get here.

hey everyone,

I have been accepted to SJSM also for the May 08 term. I got all the paperwork in and everything. Sorry about not posting earlier, I just found out about this website. Im gonna be leaving here on April 30th to find a place down there. I was looking for someone to room with. Anyways if there is anyone who just wants to chat or even call my email is arpit702 at gmail. com. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

I am starting in MAY as well, but i am not going to be there until the day before registration. I was actually down there a few weeks ago and was able to secure an apt that one of the MD4s is currently residing. I spoke with the landlord while i was there...signed the contract and all is good.
Would have suggested that to everyone else, but hey...it's very hard to find a good place there and i had to be a little selfish with that info until i had mine secure.
Sorry.
See you all there.

SUKS that first day of class is on Friday!!!!!!!

Mike, good luck on your MS1 term! Hopefully we can meet up in fall 2008, as thats when I'm starting my MS1 term.

Cheers, bud!
