Students are offered accommodations in homes and apartments with Germans throughout the city. Generally, meals are not included in the housing arrangements, and are not prepaid in the program fee.
Students normally prepare their own breakfast and dinner in their apartment.
On weekdays, an inexpensive warm lunch can be purchased at the University cafeterias. Students who have lived abroad before, or who have friends or family in Berlin, may wish to arrange their own housing. However, IES stronly encourages students to participate in IES housing and accepts no responsibility for other arrangements. Students who elect to arrange their own housing must notify the IES Chicago office in writing no later than the application deadline for their program.
