Homestay in Malaga, Spain
All host families have been selected according to specific criteria and then visited by the school staff.

The majority has been receiving our students for many years and therefore has a great deal of experience in dealing with the problems that can arise when cultures come face to face.

They have also successfully passed the most important test - they continue to receive a high satisfaction grading in the special questionnaires we ask our students to complete concerning their stay in the host family.

The accommodation is on a half-board basis which usually consists of a light, “continental” breakfast and a substantial lunch. An evening meal can sometimes be offered instead of lunch by arrangement with the family. However, you should remember that lunch is traditionally the main meal of the day and the moment when the family tends to get together - your best chance to practise your Spanish!

The host family can wash your clothes for you but they have the right to charge a reasonable amount for this service. On the other hand you might prefer to use the self-service laundry of the student residence.

Student residence
As the student residence is in the same building as the school, it is the ideal accommodation for those students who want to live in a mini-campus environment and gain the maximum benefit from the excellent living and leisure facilities.

The student residence offers standard single rooms, twin rooms and Executive rooms. It is located in an up-market residential area some 10 minutes walk from the beach and a 15 minute bus-ride into the centre of Malaga.

You can dedicate your time to your studies as all the facilities are close at hand: the classrooms, the Multimedia Study Centre, the cinema, the conference rooms, etc.

The 24 hour reception (a member of staff is on duty 24 hours, 7 days a week) provides a high degree of security for our guests and allows them constant access to the staff. This is also the emergency contact point for all the students in Málaga.

In the reception area you can also make use of the following services:

• Reconfirmation of flights
• Hire car rentals
• Instructions on how to use the self service laundry
• Rent a safe-deposit box, a TV, fridge, etc.
• Ask for information about bus and train times, opening times of museums, art galleries, recommendations of bars and restaurants, etc.

To put you in the right frame of mind for studying you can first relax by the pool or on the terrace, making the most of the fabulous Mediterranean climate of the south of Spain.
