StudyGlobal attaches great importance to your accommodation. The host families are carefully selected, as are the residences and apartments. Staying with families allows students to practice the language and to become acquainted with the culture and lifestyle of the local people. We try to place only one student of the same mother tongue when multiple students are staying in the same family, which cannot be always guaranteed depending on availibility and seasons. The definition of a host family may vary from the traditional family description. Host families may include working / retired - couples / single women / be of various religious, ethical and professional backgrounds / be with or without children.
All accommodations start on Sunday (before the course) and end on Saturday (after the course). There will be a charge for extra days. Requests for extra days should be made in advance and cannot always be arranged. All changes involve a change fee and sometimes changes cannot be processed due to availability or time constraints. Special cancellation terms may apply to non-host family accommodation types. Last minute bookings (less than 3 weeks before departure in the non-summer and less than 6 weeks before departure in the summer) may result in availability problems.
Most accommodation types do require a damage deposit to be paid upon arrival which is refundable. Some accommodation types will charge an extra charge for cleaning / electricity or other utility charges.
Some accommodation types require the client to pick up the keys at reception / rental office and / or the reservation of an airport transfer at additional cost to deliver the keys to the client.
Accommodation only available to language course participants and their travel companions.
