1 Useful information for newcomers Important Note: This document tries to explain some points and steps which may help new students in the first arrival days to Baton Rouge. However, it is party dependent on personal views and perceptions of different authors which may not completely match with reality. Prices mentioned here are always subject to change and may not be updated. Before coming Check your general health specially your glasses (preferably bring spare one) and go to dentist for sure. Dental jobs can cost you a fortune in the U.S and ordinary insurance plans do not cover them. Try to apply for accommodation as soon as possible. Edward Gay and Nicholson apartments are among the cheapest places you can find to live in Baton Rouge. They are old but near campus. Edward Gay is a little bit better but not as close to the Engineering Departments as Nicholson apartments are. It is reasonable to apply for these apartments for the first semester (you can do it via your PAWS, under student service section, Student Housing). Do not worry if you cannot find an on campus apartment. There may be somebody at those apartments looking for a. Besides, there are some off campus options too. Tigerland is one of them. It is in close proximity to LSU and is also on the bus route to LSU. If you arrive early, you may need to find a temporary place. International Cultural Center (ICC) provides temporary accommodation for 20 students. You can ICC and ask them. Besides, you can ask other Iranians to put you up for a short while or stay at a hotel or inn perhaps. Try to make small groups to come together and help each other out during the journey. Make sure to have your immunization form filled out in Iran. Otherwise you may not be able to register and you have to pay much more than Iran to get all the shots! (any doctor/institute can sign and stamp it for you in Iran) If you have concerns about halal meat, there is one Muslim market that you can buy frozen meat from. There are some places to buy fresh halal meat in nearby cities too. ICC can give you a ride when you arrive. You need to ICC and tell them your exact arrival time. However, you may need to wait at the airport for an hour or so for

2 other students to come. You can ask your friends to pick you up or simply take a taxi and pay $20. It is better to bring volts plug connector for your notebook. Most notebook adaptors can work with 110~220 volts but the plugs are different here. Otherwise, you may have to pay much more to buy it and not be able to use your computer for a while. (You need somebody to give you a ride or have to wait for post to deliver it if you buy it online) Your clothes and shoes for subtropical wet summer (Hot, high humidity and heavy rains) and short winter weather (Rarely does it snow here but at times temperature goes below zero Celsius). However, you can find very nice clothes here, almost at the same price as in Iran. Your old cell phone (not the SIM card just the receiver) may work here depending on the operator you choose (AT & T for example supports your cell phone). When you choose your cell phone plan, you can either get a simple, not so fancy free cell phone or upgrade to a better one at a discount. You may prefer to use your previous high tech phone, anyway! Usual first aids and medicines. Be extremely careful about codeine-containing drugs. Carrying them can get you in trouble at the airport. Some light cooking stuff, dried vegetable, saffron and expensive spices. Do not worry. You can find turmeric, curry powder and many other spices right here. Some sheets and a light blanket. However, you can buy it here if you prefer. Iranian driving license (Original card) and its official translation. Note that International driving license is absolutely useless in Louisiana. National ID (Karte melli) for renewing your passport in the future. Enough money to support you for almost first two months. Depending on your department and how fast they are at paperwork, it may take you up to two months to receive your first pay check. Considering settling down expenses, on average $2500 is enough to sustain you for the first couple of months. However, if you want to buy high quality stuff or perhaps a car right away (which is not urgent but almost necessary in Baton Rouge), you will definitely need more money. On the other hand, if you do not mind buying inexpensive stuff and asking friends for a ride once in while, you can spend less of course. (A reasonable price tag for an average second hand car is somewhere between $3500-$7000)

3 Do not bring... Many useless books. Ask last year students in your program which books are needed. Those should be very few. Of course if you love them, you can take all of them as well. However, be reminded that postal fees for books are among the cheapest in Iran. Have your parents send you the books you are not sure if you need. They may use Post-e Matbooat. Only dried fruits are allowed at the customs, so do not bring date, limo amani, seeds (tokhme). Pistachios are OK. If you have your Laptop, you can bring it but Do not buy one just before arrival; you will find very good deals. University students are also eligible for some especial discounts. Airport (When you arrive) Your security checks will be done at the first airport in the USA. You cannot choose Baton Rouge as your gate of entry. (See complete list of current ports of entry) So, consider enough time lag between your connecting flights. Things to do after arrival ISO: The first place you should go. They will help you with all materials (instruction, map and...) and your registration process. You have to present you passport, visa, I- 94(usually attached to your passport at the port of entry), I-20 as well as your admission letter. Some parts of your PAWS have been opened since you apply for LSU.After you initiate your registration at ISO, all the rest parts would be accessible. They would also prepare your work permit in 5 business days or even sooner. Bank: There are lots of banks in Baton Rouge. May be, there will be some restriction for you to open an account in some popular bank in the United State, therefore you had better choose the most convenient and accessible one. Campus Federal Bank, located at student union, is the best place you can open a temporary or permanent account. They will give you a debit card (not credit card). You really need it for your early shopping safely. After you get your social security you also apply for credit card. Tiger card: You can go to student union and get your Tiger card (LSU student ID card.) You just need to know your PAWS ID. They will take picture, so put on your beautiful clothes. For proofing your identity at LSU you need it. It also can be used as a debit card but

4 just in the campus or special shopping center like Winn Dixie! For using vending machine it is also the most convenient way to use Tiger card instead of cash. Cell phone: You can choose one of followings: 1. Prepaid. This is the fastest but the most expensive one. For permanent use it is not recommended. You have to pay first and you have to charge it whenever you run out of credit. 2. Monthly Plan The operators are: AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-mobile. For permanent use they are recommended (almost all the students use those). It needs long term contract (usually 2 years). But since you do not have any credit history in the USA you have to pay deposit. The amount of deposit depends on the operator ranging from $150(Sprint) to $500(AT&T). More than 80% of students here use AT&T. But Sprint, Verizon and T- mobile also have fair coverage. One of the choices is to first choose an operator like Virgin mobile that does not need deposit and long term contract. You can easily order cell phone via internet for only $20. The monthly payment is a bit more expensive comparing to those above but you can terminate it whenever you want. The benefit is that you can use it for 3 or 4 months and as you get your social security number and your credit built up, you can go with any operator you find better without any deposit and order it even via internet. SSN: Ten days after your arrival you can apply for Social Security Number (SSN). For getting salary, driver licence or credit card it is necessary, therefore do not postpone applying for SSN too much. The department of homeland security is far from campus. You can ask either one of your friends or ICC to give you a ride. For arrangement with ICC you should or call them in advance. You have to present your passport, visa, I-20, I-94, work permit, Tiger card, your admission letter as well as the letter from LSU that should be typed by your employer and it should contain all information as the form provided by ISO for SSN. They are strict about material, so check if you have all of them twice before go there. Shopping As long as you don t have a car, you are mostly dependant on your friends to give a ride to department stores which are pretty far from the campus. However, there is one small shop on campus named Mini Mart. You can do your daily grocery shopping there, but do not expect that much variety. In addition, every Sunday ICC takes students shopping. Transportation If you live at Edward Gay or Nicholson for transportation you can rely on Campus

5 Expenses transit. They provide on Campus transportation (Edward Gay and Nicholson also included) and operate from 5:30pm till 2:00am. Their service is free of charge and all you need to do is call them at They can take you from your place to your department or recreational center (LSU gym). You can have an estimate of living expenses in Baton Rouge as a student in LSU by information presented in the following table. Title Food On-campus Accommodation Off-campus Accommodation *,** Entertainment With Without With Without Subtitle Min Price Per Month and Per Person Mean Price Per Month and Per Person Overall cost for home-made food $300 $400 Fast food $350 $500 Nicholson-Edward Gay (Including oven, refrigerator, electricity, nothing more!) Other choices (West Campus Apartments ) Nicholson-Edward Gay (Including oven, refrigerator, electricity, nothing more!) Other choices (West Campus Apartments ) Not including electricity (It is around $100 a month) Not including electricity (It is around $100 a month) Cinema ticket $7 Sports Club $240 $270 $500 $600 $475 $550 $650 $750 $350 $450 $500 $600 Free during Fall/ Spring $30 for Summer House ware (Bed, silverware, glasses, dishes, carpet, desk) $300 $700 * **

6 Public transportation Similar to everywhere in the United States and especially south, for long distance you have to use your own car. It is better to have a plan to buy a car. Telephone card For calling Iran you have these choices: Startec (connect you to Iran through your cell phone, no charge is needed, you pay the prices monthly by your debit/credit card. You can check the prices at Skype & Justvoip or other messengers (you need computer) Freecall (you need computer just for initiating a call)
