Accommodation and supervision :
All residence halls are supervised by Rennert Resident Advisors (RAs) who live on each floor at a ratio of 15 students to 1 RA. Students are assigned to RAs by gender and floor. Additionally, all activities, entrances and exits are monitored by Rennert staff 24 hours a day. Safety is very important to us!
Additional information :
All participants are required to submit individual proof of health and travel insurance before they can be accepted into the program.
Housing security deposit is required from every student through a credit card authorization. This deposit covers any damages directly caused by the student to campus facilities. A full, partial or no refund will be processed within 10 business days after departure depending on level of damage or lack thereof.
Pocket money :
Students do not need money for anything other than souvenirs they may buy, and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. We would say $100 per week is more than enough, unless they want to buy clothes or a lot of gifts.
