Accommodation

Accommodation is a very important part of your experience when come to study English abroad. Some students like to stay with a host family, so they can be more integrated with the local culture. Others people really like our student residence (house shares) – it’s a popular choice! – where students share an apartment with other language students, sharing facilities, like in university.
