Housing Expenses Can be Hard for International Students 

FILE - College students begin moving in for the fall semester at N.C. State University in Raleigh, N.C., Friday, July 31, 2020.

With housing expenses around Florida International University at or above $1,000 a month, and incoming freshman having priority for on-campus housing, the editorial board of PantherNow is raising questions about the university’s commitment to international students.

“The decision not to accommodate the housing needs of both upperclassmen and international students falls within the housing department but FIU as a whole must take better care of its international students,” according to the editorial board. (November 2023)
