Host family

ESL-host-family-accommodation-2

If you want to maximise your language progress, staying with a friendly Irish host family is the perfect way to do it! You’ll essentially become another member of the family, who will welcome you into their home where you’ll have your own private room with access to a bathroom in the hallway that you’ll share with the family. You’ll be provided with bed linens and towels, and for meals, you can choose between breakfast, half board or self-catering. Your commute time to school will range from 30-75 minutes by public transport. 

Heyday Carman’s Hall residence (ages 18 and over)

ESL Languages Heyday Carman's Hall residence EC Dublin

This residence is located in the historical and cultural heart of Dublin, full of rich history and a trendy atmosphere – all just 20 minutes by public transport from the school. Students will be placed in stylishly designed single rooms with a spacious double bed, free wifi, desk, chair and generous storage space. Students will have access to a communal dining room, a lounge for students to socialise, and a kitchen which students can use to cater for themselves. Linen is included but students will need to bring their own towels – both of which can be cleaned for a fee using the onsite laundry facilities. There is a cleaning service for the common areas but students should keep their own space clean. There are plenty of facilities to help students in both their academic and personal life, including a meeting room, multimedia room, public computers, a games room, a fitness centre, and a garden and rooftop for students to enjoy on sunny days.
