Student Life
|
The dormitories at YCMES are simple, but
colorful! |
Life in Sana'a
The Old City of Sana'a, Shibam in Hadhramout, and
Zabid in the Tihama are all UNESCO World Heritage
cities, preserving their extraordinary architecture
for the enjoyment of citizens and visitors alike.
Dramatic mountain terraces in the northern and central
portions of the country, verdant wadis in the south,
desert sand dunes in the east, and warm seas with
rich aquatic life: these contrasts hint at the ecological
and geographical diversity of the country and its
natural charms. Learn more about Yemen!.
Housing
Students will live in one of the YLC dormitories
located within walking distance of the main center.
Each YLC housing facility is equipped with a European
washing machine, satellite television, and VCR located
in a student common area. Bedrooms are furnished with
a telephone extension for student convenience. All
local and international calls can be received free
of charge, however students will be charged for outgoing
calls. Internet access is available 24 hours a day
and in our main building and guest house, a wireless
connection has been installed for those students with
laptops. Sheets, blankets and towels are all provided
by the YLC for the duration of your stay. For more

Students are entitled to housing one day prior to
and one day after the conclusion of study. Additional
periods of stay may be arranged at a cost per night
subject to availability. Students may request a single
room as available.

Cultural Activities
While studying at the Yemen Language Center, students
are immersed in Yemeni culture in the form of field
trips, lectures, visits to hammams and museums, weddings,
and more, most included in their tuition. Also, the
student will inevitably be welcomed into the homes
of countless Yemeni families as a part of the Arab
hospitality.

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.

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.
