Accommodation for students

What are host families and what type of accommodation do they offer?

Host families are local families or households that provide accommodation for students. These families offer a place to live, meals, and a supportive environment for short or long term stays. Amongst many other benefits, host family accommodation can help students integrate into the local culture and community.

This type of arrangement is common for students in exchange programs, language learning courses, or those studying abroad temporarily.

Key aspects of using host families as accommodation for students:

accommodation for students

  • Cultural Exchange

    Living with a host family gives students a chance to experience the local lifestyle and customs first-hand, which can help them adapt and enhance their language skills.

  • Accommodation for students

    Host families usually provide a private or shared room, and sometimes meals are included (full board or half board).

  • Support

    Families often act as a support system, assisting students in navigating their new surroundings, helping with local transportation, and offering advice on day-to-day activities.

  • Cost

    The cost of staying with a host family is usually lower than other housing options, like student dorms or private rentals, making it an affordable choice for many students.
