To someone considering moving into this house, especially if it’s your first time in the U.S., I’d say definitely come here. Being around other students in this housing helps immensely. They guide you on how to navigate the city, manage your studies, and even pass your classes. It’s a great starting point to get settled, learn about the area and the Royal Institute, and then maybe move on once you’re more familiar with everything.
