Accommodation

Host family
Staying with a host family is the best way to learn common expressions, to improve your everyday German and to immerse yourself in the country's culture. Students stay in single rooms with half board provided around 30 minutes away from the school.

Residence
The residence is located in a building with 8 storeys only 10 minutes by tram away from the city centre. It welcomes international students as well as German university students, which favours the meeting of students and practising the language. Each student has a single room with a private bathroom and can use the common equipped kitchen available on each floor.

Shared apartment
Only 10 minutes' walking distance away from the school, 2-3 students share an apartment and enjoy complete independence in a friendly environment. Accommodation is in single rooms. It is also possible to book a double room for two students travelling together.

Leisure

International House organizes social activities, film screenings and a weekly traditional “Stammitsch”, where teachers and students visit a pub and have a drink, allowing you to practise your German in a natural and relaxed way. The school’s activities service will guide you through all the sporting and cultural activities the city has to offer. Every week, you will be invited to take part in excursions to Freiburg’s surroundings (e.g.  The Black Forest, Colmar or Strasbourg).
