When can I arrive to my accommodation?
The accommodation is available between 12.00 pm on the Sunday prior to the first day of the course (Monday), until 12.00 pm on the Saturday following the last day of class (Friday).
What if I arrive to my accommodation earlier or leave later?
According to availability, students will be able to book extra days in the accommodation (max. 3, extra fees will be charged). The cost of an entire week will be charged for students requiring 4 or more additional days of accommodation. Please always check the possibility of extra days during high season.
What is the difference between a shared flat and a student residence?
In the residence students can benefit from half or full-board, in flats students have to cook themselves. The minimum number of students in a residence is 8 and the maximum 150 (depending on the city and the type of residence). In shared flats, the average number of students is 4-5 (minimum 3, maximum 12).
Can I cook in my accommodation?
There are no cooking facilities in the student residence because meals are included in the price (except for residences without meals, in which case there will be a kitchen). Also, keep in mind that you will not be able to use the kitchen if you're staying with a host family. Those students who want to cook by themselves should choose accommodation in a shared apartment.
What is the difference between half and full board?
Half board includes two meals per day: breakfast and dinner.
Full board includes three meals per day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I have chosen half-board pension, can I take the lunch instead of the dinner?
Half board means “breakfast and dinner”, this cannot be changed. Students that wish to have lunch need to choose the full-pension.
I have a special diet / I am vegetarian... can the family/residence take that into consideration?
In case the student requires a special diet (religion, health problems...) we will be glad to prepare special meals. While making the reservation, students must clearly specify their personal diet needs and wants.
How many students stay in the same family?
Some families welcome only one student, others have the opportunity to welcome 2 or 3 students. Unless specified, students will never be placed in the room with another student who has the same nationality.
Will I be able to use the family telephone?
Students are not allowed to use the telephone without any prior approval, but they can receive personal phone calls at reasonable hours.
Are laundry/ ironing/cleaning services available with families?
