Students who elect the meal plan are given a food allowance, paid weekly, to cover the cost of their meals. Students who do not elect the meal plan manage their own food budgets. In either case, students may eat where they choose. There are cooking facilities in the dormitories, and good food at reasonable prices may be obtained at the university cafeterias or local restaurants. Almost without exception, students have enjoyed the independence of this plan and have preferred it to the typical U.S. dormitory food arrangements.
Students are free to arrange for their own transportation to and from Europe.
The program director will keep students who have been accepted into the program informed about the group flight plans and other possibilities for reduced air fares as this information becomes available. These trips include some of the interesting sites near Salzburg and cities such as Munich, Vienna, Berlin, Prague or Budapest. Students are free to travel individually during the holiday and recess periods. They may also remain in Europe after the end of the academic year, if they care to do so. The university requires that all program participants obtain an International Student ID card.
