Most students choose to live
in family home stays, in student residences, or in furnished
apartments. With
each of these options, we can assist you in finding housing.
Family
home stays
The majority of our
international students choose to live with a family, as it provides a
great
opportunity to experience American culture and home life, and to
practice
English outside of the classroom. Host families come in all shapes and
sizes:
couples with children, single parents, or retired couples.
All host families have been
pre-screened, to ensure that the family is friendly and accommodating,
and that
the home is located in a safe neighborhood.
Most families live in the
Boston suburbs, and all homes are located close to public
transportation.
You can choose to have a
single or double room; you can also decide whether to eat breakfast and
dinner
with your host(s) or prepare your own meals.
Home stays including
breakfast and dinner cost $775 for 4 weeks. Refer to the costs page to
view the
prices for all housing options.
Student
Residence
The student residence is in a
quiet, safe, residential area 5 minutes' walk from the fashionable
Inman Square
and ten minutes' walk from Central Square or Kendall Squares - very
popular
student areas with clubs, shops, bars, coffee houses and all the
facilities a
student needs and wants. Harvard Square
is also within easy walking distance. It is just two subway stops from
to the
school. Total journey time to our Partner

Choice of either private
or shared rooms· Shared bathrooms
There are shared and single rooms available. The house has two large
fully
equipped kitchen/breakfast rooms and a large student lounge. Breakfast
is
provided as well as all bed linens and towels. There are also washing
and
drying facilities. Student bedrooms are single-sex rooms but they are
not
separated by floors and students are expected to maintain an adult
respect for
the privacy of individuals in exchange for the advantages of living
within a mixed
gender residence. Bathrooms are shared.
Evening meals are not provided within the house - students tend to want
to eat
at different times and different styles. Both kitchens are fully
furnished for
the students own cooking needs.
The accommodation can be booked through the web site but needs to be
booked
well in advance. Because of limited space we regret that we are unable
to
normally offer any extra days on this accommodation which can be booked
from
the Sunday prior to the course starting date through to the Saturday of
departure. The cost of staying at the student residence is
$975.00
dollars for a 4 week stay, including a shared room and breakfast only.
Furnished
apartments
If you want full independence
and privacy, a short-term furnished apartment is the option for you.
These
furnished apartments are located in or around Boston and include all
furniture
and amenities. They include cable TV and local phone services, all
utilities,
linens and kitchenware. Furnished apartments cost a minimum of $1,400
for 4
weeks. Refer to the dates & fees page to view the
prices for all housing options. We look forward to training you in one
of our
courses and hope to see you soon.
