Will my accommodation be provided?

It's unlikely. However, in certain cases you may negotiate this with your employer. It is not an industry standard here that accommodation be paid, so if this is important to you, make sure you and your employer are on the same page. If accommodation is offered, make sure you check out the place before you agree to live there. Even if an employer doesn't offer accommodation as part of the package, they will usually know decent places to rent that are near the school.
