Is there a travel office in whichever college you are attending? They would be so used to students going to the US on J1 visas etc, they would probably be your best bet in terms of relevant information. I don't know where you're based but even if there is no travel office in your college you could try contacting other colleges. The only number I can give you offhand is UCC Travel, which is 021-4902293.
