Study in the U.S.A. - Southeast (in English) - ISEP Exchange
As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.
HOUSING
All students are automatically placed in student housing for an academic year. Students who are in the dorm for the fall semester only should cancel their housing reservation for the spring semester by October 15. Failure to do so will result in charges as well as a hold on your account.
Student apartments remain open during vacation periods. Exchange students will be housed in student apartments when space is available. If there is no space available, exchange students will be housed in residence halls.
Students are typically housed in Carpenter Complex. These apartments are four bedroom; 2-bath apartments with shared living room and kitchen space.
All the rooms have wireless internet as well as telephone lines. The apartments are furnished but students will need to obtain their own pots, pans, plates, utensils, and other essentials.
MEALS
Students participating in a fall semester program will receive a meal stipend for the month of September, October, November and December. Spring Semester students will receive a meal stipend in January, February, March and April. All students will receive an additional TigerEats plan to get meals in the dining facilities on campus.
Stipend includes sufficient funds to cover meals during vacation periods.
*Calendar Year students are not eligible for ISEP housing and meal benefits over the summer break.
