Your EC accommodation allows you to more fully integrate into the EC community so that you get the most out of your experience. In some residences, students are housed together, which means you’ll have more opportunities to practise English, often with native speakers. You can make new friends by sharing a twin room with a roommate, or enjoy time on your own in a single room. Your EC home is your place to relax and recharge, so it’s important to us that you feel 100% comfortable.

Residence Socialise with like-minded people from all over the world while living independently. Our residences are carefully chosen for comfort, location, facilities and staff.
