Hi Jane,
Choosing between a college hall of residence and a homestay is a big decision. Both options
have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
College Hall of Residence:
 Pros:
o Immersed in student life
o Easy access to campus facilities

o Can be noisy, especially during social events
Homestay:
 Pros:
o Immersive cultural experience
o Practice language skills daily
o Home-cooked meals
o More personalized attention
 Cons:
o Less independence
 o May not have easy access to campus facilities
o Potential for culture shock
Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your personal preferences and learning style.
If you're looking for a more independent and social experience, a hall of residence might be a
good option. If you prefer a more immersive cultural experience and personalized support, a
homestay could be a better fit.
Here are some additional factors to consider:
 Budget: Homestays can be more affordable than hall of residence, but it depends on the
specific location and provider.
 Academic Focus: If your course involves a lot of independent study, a homestay might
provide a quieter and more focused environment.

great way to improve your language skills quickly.
