French Host

To fully immerse you in the language, our partner school arranges accommodation with carefully selected French hosts who are located either within walking distance or a short bus or tram from the school (max 30 minutes). The hosts are visited regularly by the school’s Accommodation Officer and are known to the school (the majority have been hosting for a number of years). Students are accommodated in twin or triple room (single room on request for €150 per week) and you will have breakfast and evening meals with your host and a buffet lunch is enjoyed in the school cafeteria. Packed lunches are provided for weekend excursions. Hosts are approved by our partner language school and can be a married couple or single person, with or without children. The host may sometimes have another student of a different nationality staying with them, who also attends the school. Bed linen is provided (but not towels) and changed weekly.

Student Residence

Bedrooms are spacious and well equipped and sleep between 2 and 4 students. There is plenty of storage space and showers and toilets are located on each floor. Bed linen is provided (but not towels) and changed weekly. Light cleaning is done every day with a full clean at the weekend.
