Here's something for people who might wants to study here in the U.S.
When you are looking for an apartment, don't look at the price only. Make sure you'll get an apartment with leasing office. This is fuxxing important, reasons are as below:
1. You'll likely to be treated equally. If you feel unfair treatment, you can definitely sue the leasing office... However, if you only have your landlord, it is difficult to sue him-_-
2. whenever there's something broken, the leasing office will fix it damn fast. However, a landlord will tell you to take it.
3. Don't be fooled about "close to school". The closer to your school (or work), the landlord will be more tough on you since you are more like "you have to take the place". In fact, get a good car, you can stay in a better place.
Finally, discrimination is actually everywhere... don't take it too seriously and you'll feel better!!
