Deutsches
Haus
What is it?
The Deutsches Haus offers a unique environment for students
interested in German culture, language, and society.
Residents can participate in regular house activities such as
weekly dinners and movie nights, holiday gatherings such as
Fasching and Oktoberfest, speakers & lectures, and events
sponsored by the German Club.
Residents are not required to speak exclusively German, but
students living in the German House should expect to speak
German as often as possible, particularly at group meals and
special events.
Who will live there?
Freshmen and upperclassmen are equally welcome. Residents
must have completed German 122 (or qualifying placement
score) by the time they live in the house. The house is open
to both men and women.
Residents are expected to make the German House a special
place. You should have a positive attitude toward
cross-cultural living and communication, contribute to the
academic goals of the house, and maintain the cooperative
spirit of the house.
Where is it?
The German House is on the second floor of the
Colonnades A, next to the Koury Business Center. Also on
that floor are the French House and Italian House.
The floor includes:
-
single bedrooms (stand-alone or suites)
-
wireless internet
-
cable TV
-
laundry facilities
-
common room with kitchenette
How much does it cost?
Each room is a single so the cost to live in the house is
the price of a single room on campus per semester. The rates
for the following academic year are determined during the
March Board of Trustees meeting.
Freshmen are required to have 15 meal plan, while
upperclassmen are required to have a five meal plan.
How do I apply?

advisor(s) and complete an application during the annual
online housing selection process.

Freshman Online Housing Application and answer the essay
