Make sure any credit card you have is in U.S. dollars and you will have not problem. American Express cards are accepted at many locations. While U.S. currency can be obtained with U.S. dollar credit cards, there is a daily limit on the amount of money which can be obtained. Many students have encountered problems trying to obtain large amounts of cash from their credit cards. The motel is safe and clean but not fancy.
Local transportation is very limited.
We suggest you begin your stay at the Hill Motel and if other options are available to you, then you can switch to another location. In the past, some students have started at the Hill Motel and then transferred to another motel where other students with transportation are staying. Other students then provide a ride to and from the school. In several cases, foreign students have grouped together to rent a car during the course on weekends. Some students have found a local apartment in the area, but a car would be required for that option.
