Accommodation
Having the right accommodation is a crucial part of your stay. Since everybody has different requirements for accommodation, different habits and different ways of living, ILA is pleased to offer you a wide choice of accommodation options for all kind of needs.
The school has its own, in-house accommodation department, which ensures accommodation at a very high standard. From the time you first enquire, we are here to help you to make the best choice for your needs and will take care of booking your accommodation. During your stay ILA's accommodation coordinator will be there to help you with any questions you might have.
All accommodation options are continuously checked for their performances and quality by regular re-inspections as well as by feedbacks from all former students via ILA's quality questionnaires at the end of each stay.
ILA also respects the IALC accommodation code. In order to help you choosing the right accommodation type for you, we will give you some guidelines underneath.
Homestay
A host family is not a hotel with hotel services. Staying with a host family requires respect from both sides since it means sharing part of a private life. You will have your own room, own key and you are independent up to a certain extend, but you will have to adapt yourself to e.g. meal times of the family and the rules of the home. Showing interest in your hosts and being open minded towards them will help you to integrate quickly.
You will benefit for your language and also have an interesting insight into French family life as well as French culture.
ILA places great importance on reserving the best matching family for you. All families are carefully selected and the school has the reputation for providing excellent host families.
Student Residences
The student residences are very popular with students, who like independency and meeting other students from all around the world. You have your own studio including private bathroom and own kitchen. You prepare your meals yourself (or together with other students) or enjoy the many reasonable priced restaurants and student bars. You will have to respect the rules of the residences, but you are completely independent. Most students staying at the student residence are between 18 and 30 years old, but also some "older students" young at mind chose this option.
The atmosphere is lively.
If you prefer the idea of mixing with other students, going out a lot and having independency rather than integration into a local family, you should consider this option. The demand is high and we recommend you reserve early.
Aparthotel
The aparthotels are more upmarket than the student residences and offer higher quality of accommodation and services.
The aparthotels also provide independent studios with private bathrooms and private kitchens.
This type of residence suits the more discerned student looking for independent accommodation.
