The LISR program is a unique language immersion experience in which students who are learning the same target language live together while pursuing their regular class schedules.

Join hundreds of other BYU students who have discovered a fun way to make friends, learn a new language, and step into another culture—all without having to leave campus.

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.

Contact the LISR Program Coordinator at lisr@byu.edu.
