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. Shared and single rooms are available, with ensuite or shared bathrooms; and you may choose from self-catering or meal plan options.
HomestayLive like a local and enjoy all the pleasures of home, from warm welcomes to home-cooked meals. Homestay allows you to immerse yourself in the English language, live with local people and learn about their culture.
Accommodation for Students Aged 16 and 17We provide accommodation that is both safe and suitable for students under the age of 18. In Australia and New Zealand, students younger than 18 must stay in a homestay.
