Personal comments
So as to help with my expenses there, I looked for a job on campus, wich was what my visa permitted me. I got a Job in the academic support facilities of the university, called Students Office Loan Account. The students working there had administrative responsabilities, but, at least, I was able to see how they worked there; how the american students support themselves while studying, a big difference from how it is in my country.

Let the host university arrange for medical insurance. And pls pls do not pay yourself for the college money. It is insanely high. 20.000 dollars is not the exception, but the rule!
