Summer in Athens


Student Housing

While in Athens, you will stay with other Global Semesters students in same-sex apartments or houses (units). Your housing will be either in residential areas near the University of Nicosia Athens campus or near the downtown shopping district of Athens.

Some important points about housing
  • Unlike some other study programs, we guarantee housing. Your housing will be available for move-in at the beginning of the program.

  • Our units are modern, furnished, and include kitchens, lounges and basic amenities. As is typical of apartment living, not all units are identical as it relates to amenities, furniture and size.

  • Our base fees are for double-occupancy living (e.g. two students per bedroom). Units might have 1, 2 or more bedrooms.
  • All of our units have WiFi (wireless internet broadband) available. 

  • Students that would like a bedroom of their own can request a single room by paying the single supplement with their program fees. We cannot guarantee availability of single rooms and will refund single supplements if we cannot accommodate a single room request. It is highly unlikely that a student will be able to successfully request a single room after he or she has arrived in Greece.

  • Room assignment occurs after the participant list for a semester is finalized. We attempt to accommodate reasonable roommate or housing preferences, but make no guarantees that we will be able to do so.

Housing outside of Athens

When we travel, we stay in tourist-class hotels, not hostels. These hotels are clean, safe, comfortable and reasonably located. On these trips, students stay two to a room (same-sex) in the vast majority of cases.

There might be occasions when students will stay three to a room (same-sex) in a triple room.
