Accommodation:

Choosing a housing option can be a stressful process for international students as they are already occupied with preparing for their travels, studies, and cultural adaption.

ILA is here to help you find the right housing solution through our network of trusted housing partners.

- Apartment Living:
If you’re more of an independent guy or gal, why not move into a private apartment off campus? Apartment living provides a quieter living environment than homestay or dorm rooms.

Living on your own in a private apartment is also a great way to immerse yourself in the local community. Instead of limiting your social life to the university bubble, you’re more likely to meet a host of interesting people who aren’t just students. Living off campus also means you get to discover hidden gems in your neighborhood.

- Homestay Option:
This option is for students looking to truly engage themselves in the language and culture by living with a family of native English Speakers.

Homestay's provide students with a first hand experience of daily life in another country. Home-cooked meals, host siblings and a family pet can create a comfortable living environment, which can often ease the occasional bout of homesickness.
