SAIPROGRAMS Leading Services SAI programs stand out for our services, ranging from our exceptional housing, to our 24-hour support on-site. HOUSING Learning to live in a new environment is an important part of the study abroad experience. SAI recognizes the importance of safe and comfortable living spaces that help students make new friends and build community. Over our 20+ years of operation, we have earned an excellent reputation for providing housing for students in beautiful apartments, as well as family homestays in some locations. Student Shared Apartments SAI student apartments are located in buildings and areas shared by local residents throughout the host cities. This grants students exposure to everyday life in that city: shopping at local markets, enjoying a morning coffee at the neighborhood cafe, and establishing relationships with other locals in the building or around the neighborhood. SAI apartments are within a 45 minute walk or commute to school, with most within 30 minutes. Each SAI apartment is unique in size, age, floor plan, and number of bedrooms. SAI offers shared and private bedrooms and all apartments are clean and well equipped with basic furnishings, a kitchen, living area and bathroom. In some SAI locations, students can add Premium Services for a supplementary fee, which includes weekly cleaning and laundry services, and bi-weekly linen change. Family Homestays Family homestays are available in some locations and are a terrific way to ensure that language skills and cultural knowledge grow. Homestay families are thoroughly screened and are accustomed to welcoming visiting students into their homes. Homestays provide a shared or single bedroom in the family home with basic furnishings. Included meals vary by city.
“My SAI apartment was amazing. Living in the same building as Italian locals and having Italian neighbors right across the street gave me a great sense of the Italian culture, and made me feel more integrated in the community.� ~ Florence student 10
