Students pay Haverford tuition, but they are responsible for their own room and board fees. An allowance for roundtrip airfare is deducted from tuition. There are, however, no co-ed dormitories. The northernmost University in the British Isles, Aberdeen has short winter days and chilly temperatures. This bustling oil capital of Europe combines all the advantages of a large city with the compactness of a smaller town.
Students take three courses per semester, at least two of which are within their faculty.
Most courses within the Facilities of Arts, Social Sciences, Science and Law are available to JYA students. Visiting American students are fully integrated into the Aberdeen academic system. Each student is assigned a tutor who aids with personal, as well as academic, concerns. Students pay Haverford tuition, room, and board, or, if they seek their own housing, they need only pay tuition. A formal lecture is supplemented with small-group tutorials, seminars, and, in the sciences, by lab and practical classes.
