Homestay Accommodation Benefits

When you select homestay for your accommodation while studying English, this means that you occupy a bedroom in the house and live with an American Host family.

1. You’ll live like a local.  Homestay is the ideal way to immerse yourself on a daily basis in the local lifestyle and live a little more like a local resident of a community
2. You enjoy all the benefits of homelife. Living with a host family has the advantages not only of home-cooked meals, such as food, laundry, etc. but a family who is there to support you.
3. It’s the least expensive option of the housing options offered by TALK English schools. Meals are usually included in the cost quoted for homestay accommodation.
4. Many students feel that host families provide you with the best opportunity to learn about the culture and customs of your host country.
5. Improve your language skills – if you’re attending English school, stay in a homestay means you’ll get to speak the language every day with your host family and their friends.
6. You have a new family and memories which will last a lifetime.  Very often, students form close bonds with their host family and shared experiences and memories make for a lifelong relationship.

Your decision about your study abroad accommodation will depend on your budget and also on what home life you feel is best for you based on all sorts of factors. From the host family option to independent apartment living, off-campus or on-campus residences – one of these is going to suit your objectives and your pocket perfectly!
