Both fees are nonrefundable but do apply toward the total cost of the program. The cost includes tuition, fees, room and board, orientation expenses, and administrative overhead. All students live in single rooms in student dormitories equipped with kitchen facilities.
Meals are also available in inexpensive student cafeterias.
Your floormates may be German students or other international students from around the world. This 3-credit course will concentrate on acquainting you with German culture and customs and preparing you to take the German language exam. After the orientation, you may enroll in any course at your selected university in Germany, provided you have passed the German language exam, are sufficiently prepared in the subject matter, and have the permission of both the Resident Director and the professor offering the course. All classes are taught by German faculty members of the university. The language exam, given in early October, tests proficiency in German.
