FAQs
Still have questions?
Who can join the on-campus experience?
All learners enrolled in a 6-month or 12-month plan, or those on a month-to-month plan who have subscribed for at least 6 months, are eligible to participate.
Is there an extra fee to participate?
No additional program fee is required. The on-campus experience is included in your plan. Some optional activities, such as meals or special outings, may have minor extra costs.
Are travel and housing included?
No. Learners are responsible for arranging and covering their own travel, accommodation, meals, and insurance. BlendED provides optional housing recommendations for each session.
Where do students typically stay?
During summer sessions, we often offer dormitory-style housing at partner universities. In winter, accommodations are typically arranged in nearby hotels. Availability and pricing vary by location—please ask your Program Advisor for details.
Is insurance required?
Yes. All participants must provide proof of valid international travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of USD 100,000. This helps ensure you’re protected in case of unexpected health or travel-related issues during the program. We’ll provide guidance and recommended providers upon enrollment.
Do I have to be 18 years old?
Yes. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in the on-campus experience.
Is the experience mandatory for my plan?
Not really. On-campus participation is optional for learners in 6-month or longer term plans. You are welcome to join when your schedule allows, even after your plan has ended.
What if I want to join multiple sessions?
You’re welcome to join more than one session if space allows. Please contact your Program Advisor for availability and planning support.
How is culture and campus life handled?
BlendED’s programs are rooted in respect, inclusion, and global citizenship. We choose locations that are vibrant, central, and rich in cultural and dining options. Students are expected to engage with openness and act responsibly within local laws and international community norms.
How many hours per day are spent on learning?
Students typically spend 4–6 hours per day on project work, with the rest of the time available for local activities, networking events, or exploration.
Will I receive a recommendation for my project?
Yes. Completing the on-campus PBL counts the same as an online PBL. You’ll receive a recommendation summary report, which can later be adapted into a formal letter for job or school applications.
