Paola

I checked the page and it says that we will find bankets in the room but they're also reported as something we have to bring. Do I have to bring them or not?

Room mates are not necessarily taking the same course, but they are a similar age, same gender, and usually same program dates as you.

helena gouveia

11:57

Are the roommates decided taking the same course you are?

Meg Palladino

11:56

Your arrival rapid test is automatic, and you will need to schedule your Tuesday PCR test when you get here.

Guest

11:56

Just to confirm, they should have a covid test 2 days prior. I have already scheduled a test for July 5th. Do I need to schedule the check in test or is that automatic?

Meg Palladino

11:55

Students are generally housed with same gender students in suites. Students under 18 may have a room mate who is a similar age. All minors (under 18) will be in Berkeley College.

Which documents do we need to have for the check in?

You sign up for a COVID arrival test on July 5 on MyChart. Schedule your test as soon as you can open it (likely when you are in the United States).

We have many international students coming to campus to study in the summer. You'll find New Haven is a very international city, with people from all around the world, so other than getting to know a new place, you shouldn't have too much difficulty. Your residential staff will help you acclimate!

There are many cultural differences for Asian students. There is also a lot of support for students from different countries, and a large international community that is very welcoming. It's exciting to have students from many countries living and studying together.
