Trams offer an inexpensive and efficient method of commuting in The Hague.
Expenses
The Program fee is $8,100, which is the cost of six (6) law school credits. At no additional cost, the Program includes housing, reading materials, health insurance during the official dates of the Program, organized tours, receptions, and transportation to Program activities. Participants are responsible for the cost of all international travel, most meals (approximately $30 per day) and the cost of commuting to and from classes (about $3-5 per day if using public trams or bicycle rental).
Travel
Participants must make their own arrangements for travel between their home country and The Hague, the Netherlands. The Program provides information on travel agents in Washington, D.C., who offer low-cost group flights for Program participants. These agents also have information about activities within the Netherlands and about travel to other nearby countries. Travel arrangements are the sole responsibility of each participant. The Program does not incur any liability for those arrangements.
Housing
Students will be provided housing, at no additional cost, in the international student dormitory of the Institute of Social Studies. They will be housed in single rooms with a private shower and toilet and shared kitchen facilities. The building is located in the city center; the Peace Palace is a five-minute walk away and the Asser Institute is a fifteen-minute walk. Public transportation and bicycle rental will also be available to students.
Passport and Visa
A passport is required for travel to the Netherlands. U.S. citizens with valid passports do not need a visa to travel to the Netherlands for under three months. It is the responsibility of citizens of other countries to obtain a visa, if required, from the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington, DC. Students not holding valid passports at the time of application should take immediate steps to obtain them.
Persons with Disabilities
Housing at the Institute of Social Studies is accessible to students with disabilities. Moreover, facilities throughout The Hague and the Netherlands are frequently accessible to individuals with disabilities. Please contact us for more details, or to request specific accommodations.
