Housing at Gewirz Student Center
We encourage students to live on-campus during Foundations to enjoy the cultural exchange experienced by living, studying and socializing with participants from other countries.  Spouses are welcome, but we are not licensed for children in the Gewirz Student Center.  Students wishing to bring their children must make off-campus housing arrangements.  On-campus housing is not available during the non-Foundations portion of the LL.M. Summer Experience.

The student apartments have a kitchen, two bedrooms, a private bathroom and a living room; the student efficiency apartments have a kitchen, two bedrooms and private bathroom, but no living room.  Each bedroom has a desk, single bed, bed linens, blankets, and towels.  Each kitchen will have some dishes, but no cooking utensils, microwaves or coffee makers.

Housing Costs, pending Board of Directors approval

  • 2-bedroom efficiency shared with one other participant at $1,475.00 each, July 7, 2013 - July 27, 2013. ($500.00 per person housing deposit required.)
