Life Beyond[Bank][Accommodations][Mobility (Planes, trains and automobiles& bikes)]
BankThere are many banks around the downtown Reno. The Bank of America is not only the most nearby (i.e., the University Branch, located on North Virginia St.)but they have a ATM's machine on campus as well. However,the best suggestion is to shop around for the best deal before make a decision. You might have to make yourself get used to using checks. Most of the American prefers that way of payment next to using credit card and cash. Paying for utillities, telephone, or even house monthly rent need payment by checking. AccommodationsIf you would like to live on campus,there are two choices to choose for. The first one is "Resident Halls" such as Nye Hall, Canada Hall, Juniper Hall, Lincoln Hall, Manzanita Hall, White Pine Hall and New Ressidence Hall. Normally, The information of University housing will come with the letter of admission,however,you might obtain the information by visit Residence Halls. Some of them are required for meal plans but some of them are optionally. So watch out.!! Please check the policy before you make a decision. The second one is "Family Housing". To be eligible to live at University Village,at least one member of the household must be a full-time students as defined in the University catalog and you must be married status. If you are interested in living here,you must complete an application,which will then be placed on a waiting list by the date and time your application is received in the University Housing office. Keep in mind that if you are really want to live here,please fill out the application earlier because it normally will take almost a year(or more) to be accepted. The other choice is simply keeping your eyes opened. There will be a post in Newspaper or posting boards around the campus for housing and some of them looking for roommates. Well, The University Housing is a good resource for start. You can get information for both on-campus and off-campus. It will provide the pamphlet about the name and location of off-campus dwelling. And the bulletin board might be a good resource for roommate seeking, room available in the small apartment that not well-known,etc...

When you want to go back home, booking with the Thai agents is a good idea. Sometimes air fare of going back home is as low as $550 round trip.
