Accommodations

EF recognizes that life outside of school is important. Immerse yourself in the local culture by staying in an EF Homestay, on an EF Campus or at an EF Residence.

EF Campus

Enhance the experience of studying alongside students from 100 countries by living with them onsite at your EF school. As a fully equipped home away from home, an onsite EF Campus offers great facilities often with a fullservice onsite cafeteria, student lounge and common Wi-Fi Internet. To ensure that you are living as comfortably as possible, each EF Campus has professional, live-in residential staff that are always on-call to help you throughout your stay. While studying with an EF school that is located on a college or university campus, you’ll live on the university campus and have the opportunity to mingle with the local students and experience true college life.

EF Campus Playa Tamarindo
EF Campus: onsite, with pool, twin, triple, self-catering, shared bathroom, kitchen and terrace or patio.

EF Homestay

Living in a private home offers a warm and secure way to immerse yourself in the daily life of your new country for the ultimate cultural exchange. You’ll enrich your understanding of local culture and customs, pick up expressions and slang with greater ease, and your accent will sound more authentic. Our homestay programme boasts a strong network of reliable local families and many have hosted EF students for a number of years. Every homestay host is carefully screened and interviewed in their homes by our experienced accommodation staff, and then regularly visited and monitored to ensure high standards. Available at all EF school locations.
