The 'Vital" restaurant on campus offers fresh salads, vegetables, wholesome dishes and a buffet.

Most buildings on campus (including dorms) have internet access. The university's computer labs and single-computer stations are also available to you if you do not have a net book.

·        Philipps-Universität Marburg:
  Academic Immersion or International Undergraduate Studies Program

·        Universität Trier

        In most cases, ISEP students are housed in single-occupancy rooms in the student residence hall Cusanushaus on the Mosel River, or in the Martinskloster, a 13th-century cloister on the Mosel River that has been renovated into a student residence. (Housing for couples is available - whereas non-ISEP-participants have to bear the costs for their dormitory rooms - however, not for families.) Students receive a stipend to cover food cost. Residents of the Cusanushaus and of the Martinskloster commute between downtown Trier and the university campus (five miles away) by bus.
