Yes, we offer a variety of accommodation options.

Spending a few weeks with an Irish family is probably the nicest possible introduction to a stay in Ireland. All our host families have been carefully selected, individually inspected and are continually monitored to ensure excellent standards. The majority of our host families have worked with us for many years. They make you feel welcome in the family home and you can practise English throughout your stay. Most host families live in a suburb of Limerick, just a 10-minute bus ride or 20-minute walk from the city centre and Limerick Language Centre. It is an approximate time, we don't guarantee the exact travel time.

Standard host family accommodation provides:

• Breakfast, packed lunch/lunch & dinner, every day.
• The evening meal in the company of family members.
• Laundry facilities
• A relaxed and sociable atmosphere, whether conversing or watching television.
• A comfortable single bedroom, cleaned weekly.
• A change of bed sheets and towels once a week.
• A desk or table provided in the room. Alternatively, a quiet area to study elsewhere in the house.
• Adequate storage for clothes
  Access to a shower or bath once a day with an adequate supply of hot water and towels.
• Sufficient light and heat when necessary.
• No other student of the same mother tongue in the home (unless requested for couples, siblings or friends)
• Fresh food, varied from day to day.
• Wi-Fi or Internet access

You will be advised of your host family address and details before your arrival in Ireland. You can arrive on either a Saturday or Sunday and depart on a Saturday or Sunday. If you wish to arrive on a weekday, we will be happy to try to arrange this for you. Host Family Accommodation is available throughout the year. We do not provide host family accommodation during the Christmas Holiday period.

Shared accommodation refers to a living arrangement where individuals or tenants share a common space, such as an apartment, house, or dormitory. This type of housing arrangement is becoming increasingly popular due to its affordability and the opportunities for social interaction it offers.

There are several benefits to living in shared accommodation. First and foremost, it allows for cost-sharing, as tenants split the rent and utility expenses. This can be a significant advantage, especially in areas with high housing costs or for individuals who want to save money.

Another advantage of shared accommodation is the social aspect. Living with flatmates can provide a sense of companionship and support, as well as the opportunity to meet new people and make lasting friendships. Shared spaces like living rooms, kitchens, and common areas foster social interactions and can create a sense of community within the household.

Shared accommodation can provide cost-effective housing solutions and foster social connections. However, it is essential to choose roommates carefully and communicate effectively to create a harmonious living environment. With proper consideration and open communication, shared accommodation can be an excellent option for individuals seeking affordable housing with additional social benefits.
