Study English in Boston, Massachusetts!

The majority of our students choose to live with a family, as it provides a great opportunity to experience American culture and home life, and to practice English outside of the classroom. Host families come in all shapes and sizes: couples with children, single parents, or retired couples.

All host families have been pre-screened, to ensure that the family is friendly and accommodating, and that the home is located in a safe neighborhood. Most families live in the Boston suburbs, and all homes are located close to public transportation.

You can choose to have a single; you can also decide whether to eat breakfast and dinner with your host(s) or prepare your own meals.

The Exclusive Residence is in a quiet, safe, residential area 5 minutes' walk from the fashionable Inman Square and ten minutes' walk from Central Square or Kendall Squares - very popular student areas with clubs, shops, bars, coffee houses and all the facilities a student needs and wants. Harvard Square is also within easy walking distance. It is just two subway stops from to the school. Total journey time to school is 20-25 minutes.

The Exclusive Residence has a member of staff living on the premises and provides good accommodation for students who want independence and like to mix with students of school from other countries, while enjoying the student atmosphere of Cambridge. The house is designed for those who want the independence of living on their own but with the security of having a staff member on hand with whom to practice their English. It is truly a "home" away from their own homes!

There are shared and single rooms available. The house has two large fully equipped kitchen/breakfast rooms and a large student lounge. Breakfast is provided as well as all bed linens and towels. There are also washing and drying facilities. Student bedrooms are single-sex rooms but they are not separated by floors and students are expected to maintain an adult respect for the privacy of individuals in exchange for the advantages of living within a mixed gender residence. Bathrooms are shared.

Evening meals are not provided within the house - students tend to want to eat at different times and different styles. Both kitchens are fully furnished for the students own cooking needs.

They include cable TV and local phone services, all utilities, linens and kitchenware. Please contact us well in advance for this option.
