Mailboxes (over summer!)
As an international student, there’s always a little insecurity around summer. You don’t have a house to store your belongings, or an American address to send things if you have to. Fortunately, CSS has taken care of both of those things. The summer storage option is incredibly convenient, and—perhaps surprisingly—knowing you have a mailbox that belongs to you for the entire duration of your undergrad is equally reassuring. It is a small thing that isn’t often talked about, but the ability to put down an address as yours even though you might be living in different apartments during these four years is very comforting. For instance, I know that even though I’m not there, if a friend wants to send me something trough the mail over summer they can send it to that address and I know I’ll receive it when I get back in the fall. As simple as this sounds, I find it very valuable!
