Accomodation

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)
(29.06-30.08.2008)
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.

Leisure

The rich activities program offered by the school starts with a guided tour of the town on the first day, to welcome new students. To follow, a good mix of cultural, sports and social activities ensure that your stay will be an experience that goes beyond simply learning a language.
