Czech Republic: Prague Central European Studies - Photography - Student Life

Housing and Meals

Humanities-Central European Studies and Photography Students (CET):

Students take classes at the CET Center while in Prague. The CET center is located in the center of Prague just steps off of historic Wenceslas Square, and contains classrooms, a small computer lab and a library. The entire center is equipped with Wi-Fi Internet access. Photography students also have access to a black and white darkroom, though students have the option of color manual or digital development.

Students are housed with other Central European Studies program participants in apartments located in neighborhoods close to the center of Prague. Using public transportation, students can commute to the CET Center in about 15 minutes. When available, students share their apartment with Czech students, allowing for cross-cultural exchange and the development of international friendships. Each apartment is fully furnished, with a kitchen and a washing machine. Students are also supplied with bed linens.

Students receive a meal stipend from their resident director, which can be used for the purchase of grocery items, and can also be spent in restaurants. Most students find that, through careful budgeting, this stipend can cover most of their meal expenses.

* The "Arrival" date is the day on which you need to arrive at your site, NOT the date you leave the U.S. The program starts on the "Arrival" date and this is the day on which program-sponsored housing begins. If you arrive before this date, you are responsible for your own housing. Do not expect to move into program-sponsored housing early.

** The "Departure" date is the official end of the program. All program-related activities will end the night prior to this date (in some cases you may have a farewell dinner, etc.) On the "Departure" day you must leave your housing. Do not expect to stay in program-sponsored housing after the "Departure" date.

Program Dates are subject to change.
