In addition, bulletins, catalogs, brochures, maps, and other detailed materials from each of the participating institutions are on file in the International Affairs office. Your choices will be influenced primarily by your academic interests. Look for an institution that best offers the courses or experiences you would like. Other things to consider may include location, size of institution, or size of city. If the institution has residence halls or students quarters, you are encouraged to take advantage of these, though it is not required.
Most European schools expect their students to live in the community and locate their own housing.
If the school does not offer student quarters, the International Affairs office will offer advice and assistance in locating suitable housing. In most cases, an internship will be arranged either within the school, in the city in which the school is located, or in a nearby city. Each of the companies that offers an internship will have received information and orientation materials about the program and its expectations, and will have a well-developed plan for making the internship as meaningful as possible. You will be responsible for your round-trip airfare, housing and food, textbooks, travel within the country, and all other personal expenses. Some internships will pay a small salary, though others will not.
