| AIT Policies & Procedures |
One of the advantages of living among fellow students from different corners of the world is the opportunity to learn from each other and experience unusual cultural traditions and habits. AIT fosters a supportive environment for you and facilitates your integration and interaction with AIT faculty and administration. Being a part of this experience enables you to support each other during your learning and educational process. The ability to live with other students who are different, think differently and who hold diverse opinions is a unique and educational opportunity.
Please take the time to review AIT’s Policies and Procedures.

| Accommodation |
In an effort to provide the best possible services to all students, AIT collaborates with a Real Estate agent, who maintains for AIT an accommodation database and helps students throughout their studies. The agent manages a large portfolio of leased houses and apartments, off-campus, in Peania. Accommodation is generally within either walking distance or a short bus journey from AIT.
All properties are checked by AIT and the Real Estate agent, for standards of safety and hygiene. Still, it is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the property offered, meets all health and safety standards, as imposed by law.
The Real Estate agent is always willing to become involved should you experience any difficulties. It is advisable, students take time to visit AIT and meet the agent, before the beginning of the Programs. That way, students would have time to see some properties and discuss several issues of concern (maps, advice on how to get to the properties, advice about contracts, etc). Please remember that you should never sign an agreement for a property without having seen it first.
If you decide to share a house/ apartment with a fellow student, means that you will share responsibility for cooking, cleaning, washing, putting rubbish out for collection, paying the rent and all bills on time and acting responsibly towards your neighbors in an unsupervised environment. All bills are collected and distributed to the students by the Real Estate agent.
Gas and Electricity Bills
Gas and electricity bills will need to be split equally between house-mates of houses. It is difficult to estimate the cost as it will vary depending on the season and the size of the property, but as a rough guide we recommend students budget between 30 and 50 euro per person, per month for utility bills.
Internet Access and Telephone Services
AIT does not provide internet access in its off-campus properties and students would therefore need to arrange this themselves. All properties have one phone line installed and students can arrange to connect this line with the various providers that exist in Greece, once they have moved into the property.
All costs including any reconnection charges are the responsibility of the tenants, along with the monthly service charge. Once your phone line is active you will be able to arrange a broadband internet service with a provider of your choice.
