Normally, students take four university courses and receive approximately 12 credits per semester, plus 6 credits for the intensive preliminary course. Class attendance is required. Although students will be selecting courses offered by the Universit t Konstanz, it is impossible to know which courses will be taught in any given semester until the German faculty has selected its teaching schedule. This usually occurs only a few weeks before classes start in early October. Living Accommodations Students occupy single rooms in university residence halls.
Residence halls contain kitchen facilities for students to prepare their own meals.
Each year, the participants in the Rutgers Junior Year Abroad in Germany program take advantage of various excursions sponsored by the Constance Dean for Foreign Affairs. Last year students visited Munich, the Christmas market at Nuremberg, Alsace, including the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, Saint Gallen, and Zurich. The highlight was a trip to Rome. Application for Admission Beginning in January, applications will be considered and some early decisions on acceptance will be made. Students are urged, therefore, to request and return the application form as promptly as possible.
