Accommodation
Students can opt for a room in our on-site residence, in the same building as the school:
38 rooms, single and twin, en-suite with shared kitchen or in shared apartments. This is the perfect place to make international friends while cooking or studying together. There is free WiFi in every room as well as a private fridge. The residence is self-catering only.
Our friendly host families are also a great option for those who prefer to live with locals. They are happy to welcome our students to their homes, all of which are not further than 20 minutes from school.

The school and residence are located in the medieval city centre of Regensburg: charming, small and safe, yet very lively. Regensburg was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 2006 because of it's uniquely well preserved medieval centre. 150 000 inhabitants and 30 000 university students enjoy the city's vibrant atmosphere, green surroundings and many cultural offerings throughout the year.
Located only 75 minutes from Munich airport (direct trains), Regensburg is a great place to explore the south of Germany.

The social activities and cultural leisure time programme that Horizonte offers after classes are an easy and pleasent way to immerse in German culture and make friends while practising German. The current activities programme is available on our website.
