We believe that living on a student campus gives you countless opportunities to meet new people and develop lasting friendships as well as social, educational, and recreational opportunities.
That is why ABC participants usually stay at the University Campus.
At ABC Silicon Valley, the official housing provider is San José State University.
At ABC Toronto, the official housing provider is Toronto Metropolitan University.
If you do not wish to stay at the campus, you can alternatively look for private accommodation. We would be happy to assist you in the process of finding a flat by providing helpful links to various rental agencies.
Participants have to cover the food expenses, private trips before and after the program, airplane tickets, health insurance, and any shopping and miscellaneous personal costs.

For participants wanting to transfer grades and ECTS points to their home university, ABC BootCamps will issue transcripts of grades sufficient for course recognition.
