Housing and Homestay

The BCGS provides students with the opportunity to experience different living situations during their time in Germany.
Students meet each other and are introduced to Berlin during orientation weekend, while staying together as a group in a local hostel.
After orientation, students are placed into homestays with German families throughout Berlin for a month of immersion into German language, culture, customs, and society.
For the remainder of the program, students may choose to live in dormitories or arrange their own housing in private apartments.
