TALK English Schools offers different accommodation options so you can choose the best alternative according to your personality and preferences, the time you plan to spend studying in the United States and, most importantly, the one that best fits your budget.

Homestay

Homestay is one of the most popular and economic options for international students. You will occupy a bedroom in an American family home, having a real cultural experience and practicing English outside the classroom. Families participating in the TALK Homestay Program are selected, among several criteria, for their ease of access from home to school via public transportation. In exchange for your accommodation in a safe and comfortable environment, you will participate in family activities, contribute to house chores and get involved with the local community.

Student Residence

Gaining or securing your independence and sharing your experiences with other students of different nationalities are some of the advantages of student residences. These accommodations are usually closer to schools, eventually within walking distance, and you can share your room with one or two people – sharing expenses will help you save for more fun times during your stay!
