The Academy for International Education (aib) has been organizing study abroad programs for U.S. students in Bonn for nearly 30 years. Not only do we offer our students and faculty excellent educational programs, but we also enable them to integrate into Bonn society and learn from local people how to live well in the UN City! With this goal in mind, we are always looking for families and individuals with free guest rooms and a desire for intercultural exchange.
Family stay
Family life together
In this model, which is particularly popular with students, our American guests are accommodated in families or shared apartments with family connections. “Family stay” includes a daily breakfast and a hot meal and is particularly suitable if you enjoy family togetherness.
Home stay
Together & Self-Determined
In the “home stay” model, students are also accommodated in guest rooms in a shared apartment but take care of their own meals. This format is thus more independent for both sides, but also leaves room for self-determined joint activities.
Individual stay
Your room in good hands
Along with the students, lecturers and teaching assistants also regularly come to Bonn, for whom the aib organizes their own accommodation. For them, we are always looking for apartments or rooms that can be rented for the duration of their stay. We are also happy to rent for interim.
