Financial, Housing, & Health Issues
|

and excursions; residence permit fee; Student center and facilities, and an official transcript. Payment for tuition, fees
and rooms costs must be paid prior to departure. AY 2003 – 04 Program Tuition and Fees: Academic Year: $16,835; Fall

Administrative Fees:
All students applying through Longwood University are assessed a non-refundable $250 administrative fee. Upon acceptance, all
students are required to pay a non-refundable $100 fee to confirm program participation. A $20.00 non-refundable application
fee made payable to Heidelberg College must accompany each application. An non-refundable administrative fee of $100, due upon
acceptance, confirms your participation in the program. |
Financial Aid:
 To ensure proper program and financial planning, please see Director, Financial Aid at Longwood University
or your home institution. The International Studies Program has scholarship funds to be applied to the expenses of participants
in study-abroad programs. Only Longwood students are eligible, though preference will be given to majors and minors in foreign
languages who have not traveled before and who can demonstrate financial need. Students accepting study-abroad aid agree to continue
their German studies at Longwood during the year following their return, and to actively participate in language-related activity.
|
Housing Costs:
Room costs are approximately $1,100 per semester plus a one-time security deposit of $50. Housing costs will be assessed at the beginning
of the semester based on the exchange rate prevailing on July 1 for the Fall Semester and December 1 for the Spring Semester.
|
Housing and Meals:
The Junior Year Abroad Program accepts the responsibility for securing housing for all program participants. Whenever possible,
students are housed together with German students in dormitories. Most housing is centrally located to facilitate short walks
or bus rides to activities and classes. Students are encouraged to spend two to three weeks during semester breaks living with
a German family via the “Experiment in International Living.” Students may prepare their own breakfasts, and other meals may
be taken at the reasonably priced university dining halls. Limited cooking facilities and in some cases full kitchens are available
to all students in the residence halls.
|
Estimated Living Expenses:
Students should plan to have approximately $375 per month to cover the basic expenses for meals, books, supplies and laundry.
This sum, however, will not cover extensive European travel, frequent dining in restaurants, long transatlantic phone calls or
major purchases. Students receive reductions on public transportation, as well as on tickets to cultural events.
