Host family or dorm?<\/h2>

Where you live while studying high school abroad on one of our programs will depend on which school or program you choose. If you choose a public or private school or classic program, you\u2019ll live with a caring host family; if you choose a boarding school, you\u2019ll live on campus with your friends. But either way \u2013 you’ll have the fantastic support around you to excel on your program!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey loved and treated me as their own child, and supported me every step of the way from academic, sports or application for universities. I never feel homesick! I was so comfortable and enjoyable the entire time I stayed with my host family. They give me the real definition of a ‘sweet home”. The memories with my host family are countless, but my favorite memory with them is when they celebrated my 18th birthday! I can\u2019t believe that I will say goodbye to them really soon and I can\u2019t imagine how I might stay on a campus next year by myself without them.\u201d<\/em>

What\u2019s the difference between a family and a dorm?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Living with a host family is a wonderful way to get to know your new country through their eyes. Immerse yourself in local culture by living with a caring host family \u2013 they’ll become your extended family for life! Share meals, first experiences and special occasions. Speak English (or the language of your destination) at home.

Our host families come in all sizes and types, but what they share is a common desire to get to know you, support you and build a lifelong relationship. Each student is assigned to a local coordinator, who will provide an extra layer of support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boarding schools are an option in the USA, UK, Italy, France, Australia and Canada. They provide an elite academic education and top-notch facilities for sports, science and the arts. For example, you might be able to play golf, or take up flying lessons! You\u2019ll be so close to your classes that you can sleep in late, live with your peers and enjoy the support of a warm community around you. There will always be adult supervision, and separate facilities for young men and women. Most boarding schools have professional chefs who offer a choice of menus and can accommodate special diets. Living in a dorm on campus means you have easy access to all the activities, sports and clubs your school has to offer!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Living on campus<\/h2>

\u201cIn the dormitory we are always together. There are not too many students, but this is good because I immediately made friends with everyone. We all stay in the dorm common room together until 9.30 and play lots of games that I didn’t even know existed before coming here! Now we are like a big family; even the managers of the dormitory are a bit like parents to us because they are there for everything and they often join us for games.\u201d
