Student Housing and Meal Allowance

Students may choose to live in double or single rooms in student apartments or homestays. Single rooms in student apartments are limited and require a supplement of $400 during spring 2012. A single room in a homestay requires a supplement of $300. Housing is provided from the first day of the program (January 4, 2012 for Spring 2012).

Meals

Included in the program price for students in homestays is "half-board" (breakfast and dinner) daily. There is no meal allowance included in the program price for students in apartments, who will have access to a shared kitchen.
