1. Is a transfer service
provided upon arrival and departure?
Transfers are possible to/from the railway station or the airport.
Please indicate the precise arrival time and flight/train number.
At the time of arrival, a driver holding a sign bearing the student's
name will be waiting for him/her on the station platform or in the
airport arrivals hall. The student will then be taken to the registration
office on campus. Departing students are escorted to the correct platform
at the railway station or to airline check-in. Beyond passport control,
youngsters may only be looked after by airport staff. Please advise
your airline in good time if you need to be accompanied from passport
control to the gate. Cost of transfer
service.
2. When should I turn
up at campus on arrival day?
Students arrive on Sunday. Students and parents are expected to arrive
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. We require prior notice from students who
are scheduled to arrive after 5 p.m. so that we can make sure that
the hall of residence door is open and that dinner is reserved for
them.
3.What's on the programme
on the day of arrival?
First of all, each student has to register at reception. Then you
are given lunch or a snack, and go to your room. Students who have
not returned an aptitude test are required to complete a short assessment
test. All students take part in a short oral assessment talk, as well.
4. May students leave
the campus on their own?
Written permission from the student's parents entitles him/her to
leave the campus unaccompanied until 6 p.m. (afternoons) or until
9 p.m. (students aged up to 15) or 10 p.m. (students aged 16). Students
who do not have permission to leave the campus alone can take part
in off-campus group activities with an ActiLingua teacher several
times a week.
5. May students be picked
up by grown-up friends or acquaintances?
Of course, provided that they have their parents' permission. The
student and the adult responsible for him/her should report to the
school management when leaving and returning.
6. How much spending
money does a student need per week?
The amount of pocket money you bring with you depends on what you
are used to. However, we would recommend slightly more pocket money
than at home - at least EUR 40 per week for telephone calls, travel
and admission tickets.
7. Is it possible to
deposit valuables with course management for safe keeping?
Cash, air tickets and passports should be deposited with the course
manager for safe keeping. There is "bank" twice a week when students
can withdraw their pocket money. Rooms cannot be locked, but each
student has his/her own lockable cupboard.
