Spring: January 26 to May 15, 2009

Accommodations

The University of Bristol guarantees accommodations for all visiting students. Halls of Residence are equipped with Internet access and fully furnished study bedrooms, single or shared. Some halls are catered (meal services in a dining hall) while others are self-catered (includes a shared kitchen in each flat). The housing contract generally covers only the academic periods. Students may stay in their rooms during vacation periods for an additional charge (included in budget, below). Arrangements are made through the University’s Accommodations Office. The Student Accommodation prospectus is available on-line at http://www.bris.ac.uk/accom/. Students arranging their own housing are advised to arrive in Bristol early.

All students on this program are enrolled in a mandatory health and accident insurance plan. A complete description of the benefits and basic provisions of the insurance policy is included with pre-departure orientation materials.
