You will have the choice between a host family carefully selected by the school or the school residence in a twin or single room.

Staying in a host family allows you to get to know the local culture in a direct and authentic way and to speak English in your everyday life. You will probably be staying with another student in the same family.

In the school residence you have the choice between a twin or single room. Here you are more independent and you can meet other students around the same age. There is always someone from the school to whom you can go if you have questions. There are single or double rooms for the same price, whoever books the single rooms first, gets them first!

For all special diets (allergies, vegetarian / vegan meal), an extra fee will be charged.
