Your Destination

Berlin is Germany's eco-friendly capital, celebrated for its long summer days, scenic waterfronts, and lively cultural scene. The city comes to life in the summer with open-air festivals, bustling outdoor cafés, and opportunities to explore its world-famous biking culture and iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate. Whether you are majoring in business, science, engineering, technology, communications, psychology, health sciences, liberal arts, language, or fine arts, Berlin is the perfect place to study abroad.

Housing

CIEE Berlin offers a variety of housing options to ensure you're comfortable in your home away from home. Your accommodation preferences will be met in the form of residence halls, homestays, and shared apartments. Additionally, all housing options are located in neighborhoods with convenient access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants. Most students live in an on-campus residence hall with a mix of CIEE students and resident assistants.
