Living+with+Relatives

So you are thinking about living with your relatives in Seattle while attending the NWS? If you have a relative in Seattle, living with him or her would be an excellent living option for you. It definitely helps you to feel like you're at home.

When you are new to a place, it's good to have someone you know to be with you so that you can feel secure. Lots of international students would miss their traditional food from their own country. What will you do if you want Miso soup or Kimchi, but there is no way to get them right away? Living with your relative would solve these problems because he or she can cook food that you miss and like in your home country. He or she can also provide you with things you need and take care of you like your parents would. They can also help you to learn the U.S. culture and get used to it because they have experienced it. In addition, it is economically wise to live with your relative. However, compared to the dormitory students who hang out with each other all day long, you will need to put in extra effort to make friends in school actively. It is also important to consider the location of your relative's house, so that you will not have a hard time getting to school on time every day.
