All accommodation offers are dependent on availability.
Host family
We encourage our students to live with Chinese-speaking families or students, which will help you to practice your Chinese skills, learn more common Chinese words and sentences, and give you the opportunity to experience Chinese daily life firsthand.
If you choose to stay with a host family, you will have your own room and free broadband Internet access. Your host family will provide breakfast and dinner on weekdays, and all three meals on weekends. Please remember to be courteous when sharing your host family's bathroom, washing machine, kitchen, and TV. All host family homes have running water, electricity, gas, and air conditioning.
The average commute to the In-Mandarin school facilities from a host home is 50 minutes. You should be able to find shops, banks and post offices in your host family's neighborhood.
