Housing and Meal Plan

Housing and Meal Plan

Every university offers different options for living on or near campus. In rare cases, you will have to find your own accommodation, which we do not recommend if the university or your coach is unable to help you find a place to stay.

You will often be accommodated in a hall of residence, with options ranging from single rooms to apartments where you live with other students. Please discuss with your coach how and where you will live and whether you will have a designated roommate.
You will often have to fill out a housing application and tell us a little about your preferences and what you are looking for, e.g., whether you would prefer your roommate to be from the same country as you or not.
​
With the meal plan, you choose how many meals per week you would like to have. There are usually different options at different prices, so it is best to ask your coach what you should choose here. Often, a specific meal plan is also covered by the scholarship.
