Accommodation

Accommodation is a key aspect of any language course abroad

That’s why, when choosing our partner schools, we select institutions that can guarantee the same excellent standards for accommodation as they can for teaching. We take great pleasure in helping you find the type of accommodation that is most suitable for you.

HOST FAMILY

By immersing yourself in the daily life of a local family, you’ll practice the language constantly and gain authentic insight into local culture and customs. Host families usually live fairly near the school (sometimes within walking distance but usually a short ride on public transport away) though in big cities they will be further away.

Our partner schools are highly selective when choosing host families and monitor them via student feedback. Unless you request otherwise, you will generally not be accommodated with students who speak your mother tongue. Any other specific requirements or preferences you may have will be taken into account whenever possible, including things like special diet, preference for smoking/non-smoking households, pets, children, etc. You must let us know if you have any allergies or medical conditions so we can inform the family in advance. It’s also useful if you let us know your interests and hobbies so we can take these into account when placing you with the most suitable host family.

STUDENT RESIDENCE

Stay in a single or, more commonly, shared twin room with other students. This is a great way to enjoy your independence while meeting people from all over the world. You’ll usually share bathroom and kitchen facilities with other students; the exact level of comfort and facilities depends on the standards of the destination.

SHARED APARTMENT

In a shared student apartment, you’ll be able to live with other students and/or locals. You’ll have a single room to yourself so you can enjoy some independence, while common areas like the kitchen and living room will be shared with your flatmates.

COURSES WITHOUT ACCOMMODATION

Because your package will be tailor-made according to your individual needs and objectives, you can also book a course without accommodation. If you want to find longer-term accommodation with other students or locals, we would recommend booking some form of official accommodation for the first few weeks while you find your feet.
