ACCOMMODATIONS
If not mentioned otherwise, all the programs
include accommodations at a local host family.
However, most schools also offer other types of
accommodations.
Below is a list of the available types of
accommodations, and their pros and cons.
- Host family. You will live with a local
family. The comfort you may expect in the houses
of host families is, at times, less than what
you are used to.
- Residential
course. Offers you the possibility to have
interaction with teachers outside class as
during meals. More comfortable facilities than
home stays.
- Student
residence. You will be hosted at a typical
student residence. Residences offer
accommodations in shared rooms or furnished
apartments
- Hotel. A
hotel is a hotel...

A good way to
learn more about the local customs and
culture. |
Very comfortable
facilities, more personalized approach,
interaction with teachers all day long. It
offers the advantages of a family stay
without the disadvantages |

A 'good' host
family is a matter of luck not of planning.
Staying with a local family can be an
wonderful experience, but can also be not so
great. |
This kind of
accommodation is often a bit more expensive.
|
Almost no
interaction with the local culture. |
