Housing Options

Homestay

Living in an ELS homestay is a very popular and practical choice, especially for inexperienced travelers or younger students. You get a comfortable and safe place to live with home cooked meals and a friendly experienced host. Talking with your homestay hosts is a great way to get extra English conversation practice outside the classroom and to learn more about the United States. Students travel to and from their homestays via convenient and affordable public transportation.
