Accommodation

Host family
Staying with a host family is an experience that will allow you to get to know the culture of the locals and to practise the language daily. Students have their own room and breakfast and dinner are provided daily. Families are carefully selected by our partner school to welcome you in the best conditions. The school also offers superior host family accommodation (private bathroom, stylish etc.) according to the students priorities.


Residence (from 18 years) (available from 14.06–29.08.2009)
During the summer season, the school offers the possibility to stay in some of Edinburgh University's residences, located in a magnificent park. This residental accommodation also includes half board. Students can also benefit from WiFi access.

Leisure

You will never become bored in Edinburgh and its surroundings. During your free time, you can discover castles, museums, the zoo, pubs, the Highlands, Loch Ness and many other things. In addition, as a follow-up to your English classes, the school offers a rich programme of social activities combining culture, sport, going out and excursions. All this with the idea of turning your language study trip into an experience which goes beyond language learning.
