For a quieter setting and a chance to share the life of the local community you may chose the opportunity to live off campus in a university house. Converted for student use, houses provide accommodations for three to six people with a bedroom for each. Residents must sign a minimum six-month lease. The university offers excellent indoor and outdoor sports facilities on campus. Student clubs and societies are available for every interest from board game clubs to the African Caribbean society, and the International Society which is one of the largest clubs on campus.
Students arrive approximately one week in advance of classes for orientation.
The spring semester classes begin the end of January and end mid-June. Spring break lasts about a month. Teaching takes place over the twelve weeks of each semester followed by a three week assessment period during which students write papers and reports, and take exams. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0. Students may attend for the full academic year or for spring semester.
