Housing:
Housing in Dallas varies widely by neighborhood but is generally more affordable than many major U.S. cities. A typical studio or one-bedroom apartment averages around $1,300–$1,400 per month, while more budget-friendly options farther from downtown, or shared apartments, can be found for $900–$1,100 per month. Candidates are encouraged to visit apartments in person when possible and to find another J1 candidate or roommate via Facebook groups to live with.

Transportation:
Dallas has public transportation, but it is more limited compared to some major U.S. cities. The DART system provides bus and light-rail service connecting downtown Dallas with surrounding areas, including parts of the wider metroplex. Public transit can work if you live and work near rail lines, but many areas of Dallas are spread out, making a car the most practical option for daily life. If you plan to purchase a vehicle, it is recommended to bring an additional $2,000–$3,000 to cover the cost of a used car, registration, and insurance. Ride-share services are widely available and commonly used, especially for commuting, nightlife, and areas not easily reached by public transit.

Winters are generally mild, with January average highs near 55–57 °F (13–14 °C) and lows typically in the mid-30s °F (1–2 °C). Freezing temperatures and snowfall are rare, though brief cold snaps can occur.
