Housing
Participants live with carefully selected German families or in student residences. All host-families live within reasonable 
distance from the school. Single room and half board (2 meals) daily, 3 meals daily on weekends. Students arrive on the Sunday prior to starting date (Monday), and departs on the Saturday after the course finishes.
Students have much independence and flexibility. Host family costs $300 per week - inlcudes meals. Host family with no meals costs $250 per week. Student residence, no meals, costs $300 per week.
CSA believes it is easiest to learn when everything around you is as it should be. Our carefully selected host families are very good at recognizing what their guests would like in order to make their stay as pleasant as possible. If preferred, CSA would also be glad to reserve a suitable hotel room. If preferred you can arrange your own housing.
