Health

1. Health care costs in US are very expensive (especially if you are a student with family), therefore it is important to
   1. Exercise extra care in your house to avoid injury e.g keep sharp items out of rich of children.
   2. Follow health eating habits and also do body exercise .
   3. To keep your health care cost down you are advised to use Urgent Care facility instead of hospital Emergency room in case of medical emergency, a list of nearby Urgent Care and area hospitals is available here  Though we have our NCSU students health center (http://healthcenter.ncsu.edu/) on campus, you should note that this can only be used by registered students, not their family members. 
2. You can also visit the government healthcare website,  https://www.healthcare.gov/, to see if you or any of your family member qualify for their service.
