New Zealanders are known for their friendliness and hospitality. There are many advantages to staying with a host family, including of course the opportunity to constantly practise the language in everyday situations while learning about the Kiwi culture! The families provide breakfast and dinner, making this an attractive option financially. At weekends, full board is offered. Homestays are located between 45 and 60 minutes from the school by public transport.

This is a good option if you want to meet other students from all over the world while having the privacy of your own room.
