Program Highlights

Key Benefits:

Study center programs typically provide less exposure to local students and follow a more American-style curriculum than local universities.

IES supports you with personalized pre-departure advising, visa & immigration advising, financial advising, registration assistance, airport pick-up, onsite orientation, city tour, onsite staff support, 24/7 emergency assistance, comprehensive global medical insurance, international emergency service support, welcome & farewell events, centrally located housing, transportation pass, wellness activities, cultural engagement, excursions, student clubs & activities, host institution services & amenities, and internship opportunities.

Housing at Seattle University

Moving can be both costly and stressful, but careful planning can help minimize both. Start by creating a housing plan for before and after your study abroad experience to avoid the pressure of continuing to pay for rent at home. Program fees typically cover housing abroad, so if you expect to incur additional domestic rent expenses, be sure to include these in your budget. If possible, consider staying with family or friends temporarily before you depart or when you return to save on costs.

Housing Residence Life

Education Abroad typically recommends considering Seattle University on-campus housing for when students return from their programs, as Housing Residence Life staff are able to support students in securing housing, while adhering to student preferenceas best as they can.
