Housing help
In most destinations you can choose between three housing options: with a host family, student residence or shared student apartments. No matter which you choose, we thought you might have some questions. How does it work? What is it like? Check out these helpful Q&As.
When can I arrive at my accommodation?
The accommodation is available between 12 p.m. on the Sunday prior to the first day of class (Monday), until 12 p.m. on the Saturday following the last day of class (Friday).
What if I arrive at my accommodation earlier or leave later?
Depending on availability, students will be able to book extra days in the accommodation (max. three, extra fees will be charged). The cost of an entire week will be charged for students requiring four or more additional days of accommodation. The possibility of extending your stay is dependent on availability.

I have chosen a half board meal plan, can I take the lunch instead of the dinner?
Half board means that breakfast and dinner will be included, this cannot be changed. Students who wish to include lunch in their meal plan must choose the full board option.
