The Director will organize and partly teach the program's German language courses and also will be available to assist and advise participants. All participants will be given a placement examination to determine at which level they will be studying the language. In addition to the language courses, students take a culture and civilization course. However, dormitories are only available for a full academic year. Therefore, for the semester and summer programs, participants will be provided with various alternative housing options.
Students also are able to make their own housing arrangements.
At Braunschweig University participants are accommodated in university dormitories, fraternity houses, or in apartments where they have the opportunity to become acquainted with students and to participate in regular student activities. A limited number of students may opt to live with German families. Placement with families must be requested upon acceptance into the program, and it may not be possible to fill all requests. They do not include additional expenses for local transportation, health insurance, books, passport and visa fees, and miscellaneous personal expenses. You could be eligible for more financial aid than you currently receive.
