The right option for you:

• If you are interested in a welcoming and supportive native speaking living environment.

Living in a private home offers a warm and secure way to immerse yourself in the daily life of your new country. Daily contact with your host family will enrich your understanding of local culture and customs. You’ll pick up expressions with greater ease, and your accent will sound more authentic.

Our homestay program boasts a strong network of local families – many have hosted EF students for a number of years. Every homestay family is carefully screened in their homes by our accommodation staff.

At many of our schools we offer dormitory style living or shared student apartments, where all the basics are provided from self-catering facilities to common recreation areas. Some schools offer accommodation in youth hostels, where EF students share rooms with other EF students, but share facilities with travelers from around the world. At a few schools, we even have exclusive luxury student accommodation in apart-hotels or student resorts with a high-class standard.

• If you can't decide between homestay and residence – here you get the best of both worlds!

International Homeshare allows you to share a home environment with a local family or a group of EF students, but with a more independent residence-type atmosphere. Take advantage of this mixture of residential live and homestay conforts.

The right option for you:

• If you are looking for a higher standard of living.
• If you want a more private living option.
• If you want an alternative to residence accommodation.

If you prefer, we can arrange accommodation in a comfortable nearby hotel. This option gives you more flexibility to arrange your free time and meals to suit your own timetable, particularly if you also need to conduct business abroad. Breakfast is normally included in the price, as well as all of the hotel’s amenities and daily maid service.
