So You Are An International Student and Want to Join the MALAS Interdisciplinary / Cultural Studies MA Program at San Diego State University #sdsumalas
by Kennii Ekundayo, MALAS 2022-24; Phd Art History Program, Stanford University, Fall 2024
Have you visited the program’ website yet to get detailed information on all that it entails?
If not, then that’s a good place to start: https://malas.sdsu.edu/#
- you have to purchase a mandatory campus-approved health insurance plan every semester. Otherwise, a hold is placed on your account and you will not be able to register your courses, which will ultimately violate your visa status.- housing goes for approximately $1,000/mth.- don’t worry so much about your living costs (housing + feeding + transportation), you can get assistantships or other on-campus work opportunities (sadly, you cannot work other jobs outside the campus due to immigration restrictions) which can be channeled toward this bit, but it’d be a really tight budget for you.- working on campus (only 20hrs per week allowed for all international students) should make you around $1200/mth after taxes.
