Staying with a host family is a unique opportunity to make the most out of your language study stay by practising the English learned in class on a daily basis. Our partner school carefully selects host families who live around 45 minutes away from the course centre. Students stay in a single or double bedroom (only available for students travelling together) and receive half board or breakfast only.

For students who value privacy and independence above all else – this residence offers pleasant studio apartments, just a 20 minute’s walk from the school. Each room has a bed with storage, Wi-Fi desk, chair, an ensuite bathroom, and a private kitchen for students to cater for themselves – common areas are cleaned regularly but students will need to keep their own room clean. Linen will be provided but students should bring their own towels – both of which can be cleaned for a fee using the onsite facilities. The residence has a laid-back courtyard and picnic area to enjoy on sunny days, as well as a gym, cafe, and a grab-and-go breakfast option, perfect for the hectic student lifestyle!
