Kaplan International - Berkeley (San Francisco)

Get a taste of the American life by staying with a local family! If you’re planning to learn English at Kaplan Berkeley, this accommodation option is the perfect choice. You’ll be provided with a single or twin room with shared bathroom, and you’ll eat your breakfast and dinner with your host family, practising English in a warm environment! Free Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are provided, but you should bring your own toiletries. Families usually live 45-60 minutes from the school via public transport and will help you plan your trip to school on your first day.

Located in various locations, these dorms offer single and twin rooms with shared bathrooms. Twin rooms are only available for students staying five weeks or more – single rooms do not have this limitation. Bed linen and towels are included, as well as Wi-Fi. The common kitchen, the study area, the dining room and the TV lounge will give you the chance to socialise with other students and speak English even outside of class. Common areas are cleaned every day, but you’ll be responsible for keeping your room clean and tidy. The laundry is coin operated. You’ll be less than a 5-minute walk from the school, and even less from the closest bars and restaurants.

Live the American student life in California by choosing this gorgeous multi-bedroom house – just a 20-minute walk from class – as your new home away from home. Students will choose between single or twin rooms – each equipped with a desk, chair, and dresser, with access to a shared bathroom. Students will be provided with linen on arrival, which will be cleaned (along with the rooms) by the residence at no additional cost. The house has free laundry facilities and a fully-equipped kitchen – this option is entirely self-catered. After class, you’ll be able to relax with your new friends in the onsite facilities, which include a living room with a TV and an outdoor seating space with a BBQ and bocce ball – to enjoy the California sunshine!
