Most School in Germany students are placed in dormitories run by Studentenwerk Mainz or Studentenwerk Berlin and are billed prior to departure by Middlebury College (who in turn pays the rent) in 6-month increments. Typical dorm accommodations are single rooms with communal cooking facilities much like suites in American colleges. A number of factors, including size and age of the room determine the cost; hence rent varies.

N.B. Dorms are not operated by the university. Students from other institutions of higher education and non-students may also live there. There are no refunds for missed or unused time. Students are reminded to exercise normal caution with respect to their personal safety and personal property while living abroad.

Students are also able to secure their own housing. In order to maximize both linguistic and cultural immersion, no one is permitted to share accommodation with another English speaker.
