FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
U.S. Citizenship:
All LARSS participants must be U.S. Citizens. Therefore, permanent residents and holders of visas or green cards are not eligible for the program. Dual citizens will need to indicate what other country they are a citizen of and possibly respond to additional security requirements.
"The information below is a sample of what is actually included as a part of the application."
Transportation and Housing:
Transportation: Please note that selected
students are very strongly encouraged to bring
their own vehicles.
This
provides more flexibility with regard to housing
options as well as traveling locally while in
the LARSS Program.
Housing:
Housing arrangements and expenses are the sole
responsibility of the student participants,
including leases, rent payments, deposits, etc.
Rent payments are made out of the stipend
provided.
Students always
have the option of finding suitable housing on
their own.
Please note that short-term leases are
very expensive.
In an effort to help defray the cost of housing
and assist in locating an appropriate housing
option, the LARSS program staff
will
provide housing assistance by assigning
roommates and providing suggested housing
options where housing expenses may be shared
if requested to do so.
Typically four students are assigned per
2-bedroom apartment.
The apartments are coordinated through an
apartment management organization.
That means each student will share a
bedroom with one other student, and the four
will share the full apartment.
The apartments are fully furnished,
including utilities, internet, dishes, linens,
etc.
The 2010 cost utilizing an apartment management
organization has not yet been determined.
As a point of reference, the 2009 interns
paid $1,860 per person for the summer.
The 2010 rate will most likely be
comparable.
If selected, students may
opt for one of three housing options:
[ ]
I will find suitable housing on my own.
[ ]
I would like to be included in the
program housing option with assigned roommates
and apartment determined through the selected
apartment management organization.
[ ]
I would like to be assigned roommates who
are interested in finding housing on our own as
a group, not utilizing the apartment management
organization.
Note:
If housing assistance is requested,
please note that changing plans affects other
assigned roommates as well.
The housing assistance provided by
program staff is limited and subject to change.
If selected, we will ask that you confirm
your desire for housing assistance on your
acceptance form prior to assigning roommates.
