Although it is great to stay with family, previous have found it diffucult to find the space to study and complete assignments. Nevertheless, if one should decide to stay with family, they should consider the following.
- Is there a quiet place for me to study at night?
- Is there enough room for me in the house?
- Is there an internet connection to do research for my projects for the next day class?
- Is there a desk or a table in the house that I can work on without interruption?
If one decides that they should stay somewhere else, they should consider finding hotels or inns in locations that suit the student's needs, such as traveling, restaurants, shopping, and comfort.
