Since US citizens can initially enter Austria without a visa, the application for a student visa, which is mandatory for studies at Bogenhofen, may also be filed in Austria. Canadian citizens, however, must apply for a student visa at an Austrian Consulate in Canada at least two months before traveling to Austria. The temperatures at Bogenhofen are usually a bit milder than Salzburg standard. Once in Europe the total number to call will depend on the origin of the call. College and secondary classes are held in separate buildings but both college and secondary students live in residence hall facilities and eat together in the cafeteria.
Many athletic activities are available on campus.
Intramural sports include volleyball, basketball and soccer. No black or colored sole shoes may be used in the gymnasium. School teams participate in an international volleyball tournament in the fall and several national and international soccer tournaments throughout the year. The men's residence hall has a fitness room and the dean of men, who is also a licensed fitness trainer, is available for advice and help with a personal fitness program. This is a free service for both male and female students.
