FAQS

Posso continuare a soggiornare nel mio alloggio per studenti a Toronto dopo il corso di inglese EC?

L'alloggio è disponibile solo per la durata del corso. Gli alloggi vengono solitamente prenotati da sabato a sabato.

Per il mio alloggio per studenti in famiglia a Toronto, come assegnate la famiglia ospitante?

La scelta dipende dalla disponibilità e da eventuali esigenze specifiche. Assicuratevi che tutte le vostre richieste siano espresse al momento della prenotazione.

Quale tipo di alloggio per studenti a Toronto dovrei scegliere?

La scelta di un alloggio a Toronto dipende dalle tue preferenze di vita. Se volete praticare l'inglese con una famiglia locale di Toronto davanti a pasti cucinati in casa, dovreste prendere in considerazione un alloggio in famiglia. Se invece desiderate una maggiore indipendenza e un legame con gli altri studenti, un appartamento condiviso può essere la scelta perfetta.
