5. Does Perrotis College provide health insurance?

Students typically receive health insurance from their home institution. In the event that this is not possible or if a student would prefer supplemental coverage, we are able to arrange for private health insurance. Before arriving in Greece, students should check with their current insurance provider regarding using their health insurance internationally, and that their insurance covers COVID-19 or pandemic-related treatment in general.

6. Is there support for students' well-being, both physical and psychological?

All students stay in the residence hall on campus. A staff member is on-call 24/7 for emergencies. Should a student seek medical attention, we will ensure they get the proper treatment. A campus doctor is available during working hours but can also be reached after hours if need be. Should a student seek professional mental health support, there is a school psychologist that can provide supporting services.
