Health and Safety Full-time Georgetown students enrolled in the Georgetown health insurance program retain coverage through the summer. While health care is often readily available in Germany without charge, students from other schools may wish to consult their health insurance providers to determine coverage. As always, students should be cautious and assume responsibility for their personal safety while traveling outside the United States. We ask that students with special needs or disabilities contact Georgetown promptly after admission to discuss arrangements. Heidelberg is an old city with limitations on the degree to which accommodations can be made for persons with physical disabilities.
Most rooms are doubles.
Convenient, less-expensive private apartments are also available. Travel and Passports Participants must make their own international travel arrangements as well as those for any subsequent travel within Europe. Visas are not required for U.S. citizens traveling to Germany or other West European countries. Passports are required for travel to Germany and are the responsibility of each student. Contact the nearest State Department Office or Post Office for further information.
