Students may eat at local restaurants or prepare their own meals in the residence hall kitchen. Homestays cost between $600 and $670 monthly.
Students may enroll for shorter periods than a nine-week term (4 weeks minimum), provided they begin their studies at the start of the regular term. Room and board and tuition costs are prorated accordingly.
