Miscellaneous comments:
No housing provided, but on-base housing available or local AirBnBs.
Students need to be American Citizens with US Passport, SSN. If born in a foreign country they need to know their naturalization number and their immediate families if applicable. With the base being overseas it is much more difficult to get security clearance than stateside. Background check, fingerprints, and paperwork required prior to arrival.
Need: MMR, Meningitis, TDAP, Hep A & B, PPD and Proof of Current Flu Shot
