The housing and meal arrangements are designed to facilitate integration with native Austrian and international students. Students are placed in Viennese residence halls located throughout the city. Whenever possible, Central College Abroad participants are assigned a room with either a native speaker of German or an international student whose native language is not English.
Student residence halls in Vienna are operated by private foundations and do not offer a meal plan. The cost of meals in Vienna is not included in the Central College program fee. All residence halls have communal kitchen facilities. Students may also eat at a number of inexpensive government-subsidized university cafeterias (Mensen) throughout the city.
