As soon as you arrive here in Warrensburg the University staff will help to place you in a dormitory. What is an American dorm? It is something like a Russian dorm. Our dormitories at Central have suits, which are two rooms for two people in each and one bathroom. So, only 4 people share a bathroom. Also, you have a choice of staying just by yourself in a room like this, but it costs a little bit more.

For those who are 20 years and older, there is an option to rent an apartment outside the cam­pus. But many students prefer living on campus for their whole student life because it is very convenient. Then you don't need a car to drive and park. Staying in a dorm saves you a lot of time you could spend on something more important.

But staying off-campus has many advantages, too. First of all, the students have more inde­pendence, especially if they like loud parties. But seriously, let me talk about the cost. To rent a one-bedroom apartment in Warrenburg for just yourself costs about $200-350, depending on the conditions of the house or apartment. two-bedroom apartments will cost you in the range of $300-400. What most students do is get somebody else, or even 2 or 3 other people and rent a two-bedroom apartment for 2 people. It is necessary to mention that you must pay for all or some of the utilities you use. You may pay for gas and electricity, sewer and water, telephone and TV. Let me give you one example. A friend of mine from Kenia found 2 other guys, and they decided to share a 3-bedroom apartment. So, each of them had their own room and they shared the kitchen, the bathroom, the living-room, and all utilities. They paid $150 a month each, and they divided their other expenses into 3 parts. Their electricity bill was about $35 a month, TV - $19, telephone - $15 a month. So, their monthly payment was about $170-180 per month depending on how many times they called long-distance.

Before I start talking about board, I want to say a word about laundry. Each dorm has a laundry room with fully automatic washers and driers. It costs $7,5 for each load to wash and also 0,75 for each load to dry. There are also several public laundries in town where you can wash your laundry a bit cheaper. Of course, you still can wash it by hand for free!
