LIVINGABROAD Time abroad facilitates personal reflection and teaches you as much about yourself as it does about your host culture. Students often return from studying abroad with an expanded knowledge that helps them to be more effective and innovative in their working lives and more satisfied on a personal level.

Learning to live in a new environment is an important part of the study abroad experience. We recognize the importance of safe and comfortable living spaces that help you make new friends and build community. That’s why we offer housing that is integrated into local communities and neighborhoods. This grants you 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 outside of the academic experience.

Over our 25 years of operation, we have earned an excellent reputation for providing student housing in high quality apartments, as well as family homestays in most locations.
