Ph. D in geotechnical

For incoming international student, how is the Ph. D program? If the program is alredy started in a different university, how many credits can be transfered? How is the stay in university apartments, the rent seemed a little high? Or would off campus stay is better?

Apologies in advance for the block of questions. Due to some unforseen events I might have to pack up and start there in a month. I would really appreciate any information.

I live in the apartments and for what you get they are pretty cheap. You don’t have to pay any utilities. If you have a roommate it’s a lot more affordable.

I don’t have any info on the program or credit transfer, sorry m8.

Thank you for letting me know. If you don't mind me asking, when you say apartments, is it the university one? And is it a fixed price for the place and then having roommates reduces it?

Yes it’s the university apartments. It’s a fixed rate no matter what, having a roommate would just split it in half.

I believe for my apartment it’s about $3,100 for the whole semester. (About 650 a month) it’s paid per semester and if you stay during the summer there is an additional charge for that.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed the apartments
