i have to get an apartment for my stepson while he studies english in santo domingo. is it common there for students to live together as it is here or do most of them just live at home? if he has to get a small apartment on his own, what would i be looking at for rent and would i have to pay more upfront then just 1st month's rent? no idea of the neighbourhood yet, but it will be an inexpensive, yet safe area.
