In the Work and Travel Program, one of the most critical questions for students is where they will stay in America. While participants rarely find accommodation themselves, Edumaster primarily offers participants jobs that include accommodation, emphasizing this as a key focus.
How do I arrange accommodation?
Accommodation is provided by the employer and with the detailed job offer participants can review their housing features. The offer includes information on the type of accommodation, weekly fees, deposit details if any, the number of people per room, and all amenities. Consequently, participants, by accepting the accommodation, acknowledge having knowledge of all these details. Participants also view the accommodation type along with accommodation details including dorms, houses, apartments, or hotel rooms, ensuring a safe environment for students to experience American culture and meet program requirements.
How do I pay for housing?
Accommodation fees are generally deducted from weekly pay checks, but participants may occasionally make payments directly to employers or landlords.
What about transportation from accommodation to work?
Work and Travel students typically use bicycles or walk to commute between their accommodation and workplaces. Transportation from accommodation to work may be provided by the employer, as specified in the job offer. Additionally, participants might use bicycles or have accommodations within walking distance, making them generally close to their workplaces.
