Languages Offered:
- Chinese
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
Applications for Summer 2024 and Fall/Winter 2024-2025 are now open.
The LISR is located at the northeastern corner of campus just beyond Wymount Terrace. To learn more, visit BYU On-Campus Housing.
