Housing
Participants are housed in the Internationales Studentenhaus (ISH) dormitory. To enhance your cultural experience and language proficiency, we request that you are assigned a native German-speaking student as a room mate. The Studentenhaus is a convenient walk to most classrooms and a ten minute walk from the city center. Built in 1964 for the Winter Olympics and recently completely renovated, this well maintained facility has been used for accommodations of UNO's study abroad programs in Innsbruck since 1976.
The Studentenhaus is within convenient, easy walking distance of all major lines of public transportation, grocery stores and other necessary shops, and the historic Old Town. It is a state-of-the-art facility, with strict house rules for cleanliness and security. All AYA students are assigned to a two-bedroom suite, with kitchen and bathroom areas shared with the suite-mate. All rooms include bed, bedding and bed linens, desk, light, chair, shelves, and wardrobe for each student, as well as a personal telephone, private shower, toilet and kitchen facilities, and hook-ups for internet and cable TV. The rooms are cleaned on a regular basis. Laundry facilities, lounges, music room, game room, TV room, meditation room, fitness room and computer room are available in-house, as well as 24-hour front desk staffing for security. Room leases are for 12 months (full year) or 6 months (one semester), and the Studentenhaus remains open during holiday periods and the semester break.
