Transportation:
You can get around Miami using the metro-rail system or the public buses as well. While you can definitely walk around certain parts of the city, especially downtown, travelling any large distances might be challenging without a car. While you don’t have to have one to live in Miami, it would be helpful to have one. At this website, you can see more specific information about Miami public transportation.
Housing:
Rent in Miami is very expensive with a one-bedroom, unfurnished apartment starting around $1,700 per month. Rent prices increase the closer to the beach and city center you get, so HRC recommends you begin your housing search before your arrival and share your accommodations which will cut down the monthly cost of living.? Below is a list of helpful websites that could help expedite your housing search! To cut down on costs, we also recommend sharing an apartment with another J1 or local American.
Please note, without established credit your first and last month’s rent may be required as a deposit. HRC recommends you arrive with at least $2,000 as startup capital and to help secure housing.
