ELS students live in furnished university apartments where they are responsible for their own housecleaning and laundry. Students purchase and prepare some of their own meals, the cost of which depends upon personal food choices and diet. Concordia offers meal plans for students who wish to have prepared meals. Participation in a meal plan is required for the first semester of attendance. Health insurance is required of all students while enrolled in the ELS Program.
Health insurance is available for purchase to students who have no coverage.
Additional funds for textbooks, recreation and social activities vary according to each student's personal interests.
