Homestays

If you are looking to have a more authentic living experience in New York, you may want to stay in an English-Speaking Home. With the home-stay option, students have the privacy of their own bedroom while living with a host family who will help students practice their English. This is an excellent opportunity to meet New Yorkers and learn about their culture and lifestyle while improving your English.

In New York City, International House offers a variety of home-stay options. Students can choose bed-and-breakfast or the half board option, which includes breakfast and dinner. All home-stays are within an hour's commute to the school and most are in the outer boroughs, primarily in Brooklyn. Staying in the outer boroughs gives students the opportunity to live in a residential area in addition to enjoying excursions to tourist attractions in the city.
