Accommodations  

Students will be staying at a boutique hotel in shared double rooms with private bathrooms. The hotel is conveniently located by the metro stop and it takes around 18 minutes by metro to commute to campus. Laundry facilities will be available for an additional fee.

UC Davis may have to change the accommodation location and type. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners, WiFi and other conveniences may not be available in all locations.

Accommodations for your program may include same-gender or mixed-gender housing and rooms may be shared with one or more students. You may request a roommate, and we will do our best to consider mutual requests when making housing assignments and/or sharing them with our program partners. However, please note that roommate requests cannot be guaranteed, as housing arrangements depend on availability and local accommodations.

Meals

Several group meals will be included in the program. Breakfast is offered daily at the hotel during program dates.

All other meals will be on your own.
