BYU On-Campus Housing

FLSR Program Discount

Beginning Spring term 2018, the College of Humanities will offer FLSR Program discounts in the amount of $240 for spring term and $240 for summer term. In order to qualify for these funds, you must be admitted to the FLSR Program and carry the minimum credit hours required by On-Campus Housing. Just prior to the start of each term, the program discount will appear in your Campus Accommodations account.

Students living at the Foreign Language Student Residence (FLSR), located in the northeastern corner of campus, participate in a unique language immersion experience, the FLSR Program, in conjunction with pursuing regular class schedules.

Robert Erickson, FLSR Program Director - "I invite you to step into another culture without leaving campus and take part in a most unique program. Hundreds of BYU students have immersed themselves in a second language and culture by becoming part of the FLSR program. I am always amazed at the progress in speaking proficiency and cultural understanding FLSR students make. Just imagine what it could do for you!"

Why Participate in the FLSR Program?

Residents in each apartment study and speak the same target language.
A Language Facilitator resides in each apartment, modelling correct language usage. They also help students to progress rapidly to higher levels of proficiency.
Participants obtain a greater understanding and appreciation of the target language culture.
Each language house (all apartments with the same target language) is supervised by a Faculty Coordinator. These members of the BYU Faculty meet regularly with the language houses, offering support and assistance within the program.
Each language house eats dinner together Monday-Thursday from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Participants enroll in a language course taught on campus, or an independent academic internship course carried out in the target language and offered through the respective language department.
