As an undergraduate or postgraduate international student studying in the United States, employment is possible on a part-time basis for up to 20 hours every week. During the first year of education, students may only work on-campus, such as at the school’s gym, cafeteria, bookstore, or library. Working for 10 to 15 hours per week may be enough to cover books and personal expenses, but will not cover the majority of education costs.

Upon graduation from your education course in the USA, you may apply for an Optional Practical Training (OPT), which gives you the opportunity to work in the United States for 1 year after your final examination in a field related to your major area of study. An OPT may be extended if the employer approves you to continue your work in the United States.
Most international students in the United States hold an F-1 visa, which is the U.S. non-immigrant student visa. F-1 students are allowed to work in the United States, but only under certain conditions and in accordance with complex guidelines and restrictions issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). On-campus employment is the category most freely permitted by the USCIS regulations, and it does not require USCIS approval. However, although F-1 status includes an on-campus employment privilege, on-campus employment opportunities at most schools are limited. Even if you can obtain a job on campus, you may not rely on it to prove financial resources for the year, and often these jobs are not related to your studies. Many schools do require that you obtain permission from the International Student Office prior to accepting any on-campus employment, and may not permit such employment in a student’s first semester or year.

In the USA, living expenses vary from state to state, however, the most expensive states to live in are Oregon, New York City, California, and Hawaii.  Living expenses include many things such as: room and board, books for classes, and miscellaneous items like hygiene products, bus passes, etc. On – campus housing can range from $5,560-$10,720 per academic year for a double-occupancy room. Off – campus housing (apartments and houses) generally range from $3,500-$14,500 per academic year. Note that some off-campus housing may have additional fees for utilities.

Winter (December – April) : the northern states are the coldest, experiencing bitter, freezing temperatures.  Low temperatures in January and February are made slightly warmer by the Chinook winds originating from the Rocky Mountains.  The southern states, known as the ‘sunbelt’ are quite the opposite, with temperatures rarely falling below freezing.
Summers (June – September) : are hot in the US but for New England, Oregon and Washington which tend to be rainier and less predictable.  The Pacific Northwest states are generally temperate while the south, east coast and Midwest are more humid.
Spring and autumn: are generally mild, warm and sunny with the exception of some wet areas, the Pacific Northwest in particular.

Safety in the United States is difficult to define because the United States cover such a large territory. While the U.S. is generally a very safe place to live, it is still a good idea to educate yourself and take steps to reduce the potential for problems. By doing so, you will also feel more confident and comfortable. The concept of equality is an essential part of United States culture particularly across gender, but across class, and race as well.

Americans respect religious differences and do not have a nationally sponsored religion. Religious beliefs are considered a private matter and your religious beliefs and customs will be tolerated by 99.5% of the population.
