Being constantly immersed in your host country's culture is the best way to learn a language. Staying with an Irish family means sharing in the lifestyle of a new culture on a daily basis and having an unforgettable experience. Families are chosen with care and know the school well, and students will stay in single rooms and enjoy half-board during the week and full board at weekends. The host families' homes are located approximately 25 minutes by public transport from the school.

This residence option is perfect for students who want to experience the enchanting city of Galway from an independent and social atmosphere. The residences are between 7-18 minutes walking from class, and students can choose between a single or twin room – each with the choice of either a shared or private bathroom. The residence will provide linen, towels, and laundry facilities to clean them – but students are advised to bring an extra towel. Students will need to cater for themselves using the fully stocked shared kitchen, and they will be responsible for keeping their space clean. After class, students can socialise and watch TV with their new friends in the shared lounge.
