Accommodation and travel

Homestay accommodation

To maximise the opportunities for speaking the language, OISE has a policy of never allowing two students of the same mother tongue to stay in any one host family. All students have a single room.

Each host family is selected and monitored according to strict criteria: houses must be comfortable, the hosts welcoming and, above all, genuinely interested in receiving students and helping them to develop fluency in the language.

University college accommodation

This option is ideal for those requiring more independence and who wish to experience the unique atmosphere of college life. Some colleges are historic buildings set in beautiful grounds which offer students a peaceful environment conducive to study and relaxation. Some are modern premises offering city centre locations and practical convenience.

Hotel accommodation

OISE recognises that some students would rather not have to adapt to living in a host family and prefer to stay in a hotel. Over the years each centre has built up a good relationship with a range of hotels of various categories and can make a reservation on the student's behalf.

The hotel reservation is made by OISE but the bill is settled directly by the student to the hotel (the value of homestay accommodation will be deducted from the course package price).
