Rent & Housing Insurance

The housing deposit and application fee are due the first month of class.   Rent is due monthly and must be paid by check (Euros only) directly to the dorm manager. Students will be billed via their Bursar accounts much like the setup at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

Housing insurance will be purchased upon arrival. Students must sign a housing contract (public liability and fire insurance) and turn it in to the dorm manager.  The mandatory dorm insurance is valid for one year.  The cost is 50€ (approx. $67.00) and the entire amount is due when the contract is signed.
