If you wish to immerse yourself in Scottish culture and put into practice what you will have learned in class, then staying with a host family is the ideal solution. You will stay in a single or double room with half board provided. Carefully selected by our partner school, the families live around 35 minutes away from the course centre. On request, you can also choose to have a private bathroom.

Your home from home in the city centre! Just a 20-minute stroll away from the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and Princess Street, you’ll be ideally situated. Enjoy the privacy of your cozy en-suite room in a 5-to-7-bedroom apartment, where you will also have the chance to socialize in the shared kitchen/lounge space with your new friends.

Other common areas include a large common room with a pool table, TV area and café-style study areas – perfect for some mingling with other international students!
