Living with an American family provides lots of opportunity to practice your English. All our host families are chosen after they have been screened to insure your comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Some families have provided housing for our students for the past 10 years. Homestays with American families run anywhere from $600 to $1000/month depending on room size and single or double occupancy. Homestays generally include breakfast and dinner. We encourage students to contact the families directly for more information and reservations. Please contact us for more information.

For students staying more than three months, an apartment may be the ideal choice, especially if you can share one with a friend. A number of apartments are within walking distance. All apartments contain a kitchen with refrigerator, conventional oven and microwave. Estimated monthly rent for unfurnished apartments:
