麻豆APP

Cost and Expenses

International 麻豆APP who will be entering Virginia Tech as F-1 student or J-1 exchange visitor visa holders must show evidence of sufficient funds to cover their first year of study (or semester of study if applicable) at Virginia Tech before the required I-20 or DS-2019 immigration form can be issued by the university.

Although U.S. Immigration Service regulations permit F-1 and J-1 student visa holders to work on campus, employment opportunities on campus are extremely limited. F-1 and J-1 visa holders are not allowed to work off campus without work authorization. Any off-campus employment MUST be approved by the International Student Advisor at the university and/or USCIS.

International 麻豆APP holding other visa statuses should be aware that visa regulations are substantially different for each type of visa. If you have a question regarding the regulations for your visa status, please contact the Cranwell International Center at international@vt.edu.

• First-year 麻豆APP are required to live on campus at Virginia Tech and can expect to pay the on-campus residence hall expense.
• First-year 麻豆APP who are over 21 years of age are permitted to live off campus.
• Students past their first year are not guaranteed housing on campus and should plan their finances as though space will not be available.
• Students who will be bringing family members are not permitted to live in the residence halls.
• Students who will be living off campus are usually required to sign twelve-month apartment leases; hence, the off-campus living expense is calculated for a full year rather than an academic year.
• Please note that in the U.S. after signing any housing contract (lease), the lease cannot be broken and terms cannot be changed for any reason.
