Health Insurance
Medical care in the U.S. is very expensive! Foreign students are required to show proof of full coverage health insurance to cover major medical expenses. SSALI requires that you purchase the excellent school-sponsored policy before registering for classes. A detailed description of this Medical Insurance Plan is available upon request by sending email.
The mandatory SSU Health Center Services fee ($148) provides SSALI students with convenient on-campus care for less major medical problems. It is available during fall and spring semesters only.
Housing
There are a variety of attractive housing options. The first and most popular option is the homestay option. With this option, the student pays $600 each month and receives 16 meals each week, a private bedroom and full use of the laundry facilities. The student can also choose our “room only" option. With this option, the student pays $475 each month and must buy and cook his/her own food. All homestays are within a 30-minute bicycle ride.
For on-campus housing, submit your request early, several months in advance, if possible. For more information see http://www.sonoma.edu/housing/livingon.html
