Accommodation

Host family
It is definitely the best option if you wish to discover the daily life of an American family. The latter might consist of a traditional family, a couple, or a single person. By living in their home, you will greatly enhance your language skills and learn interesting things about the US and Californian culture. You will stay in a single room (or double room if you are travelling with a friend) and receive half board accommodation or breakfast only. By public transport, it will take you 30 to 50 minutes to reach the course centre.

Residence Ocean Park

You will share the bathroom with your roommates of the same gender. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available for use. Bedlinen and towels are provided; the room is cleaned once a week.
