Housing & Communication:

During training, accommodations in a home stay or shared apartment are available. While it should be stated that the standards of accommodation are considerably more basic than those found in Western Europe and Northern America, apartments are always clean and spacious and conveniently located near the metro. Alternatively, you can live with a Hungarian family (single room with breakfast) for the same price.

Budapest home-stay families are typically middle-class, and may or may not have children living at home. All host families live in attractive homes in safe neighborhoods. In your host family's home, you will have your own bedroom and either a shared or private bathroom. You will be given a key to the house or apartment and are free to come and go as you please (though, as a guest living with a host family, you should be sure to respect the routine of the people you are staying with). Host families provide breakfast and the evening meal, and enjoy spending time during meals chatting with students - typically, home stays provide an excellent way to get to know the local culture and language.

After training, you will most likely rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or locals. Some employers will provide accommodations as part of your contract, usually in an apartment with other teachers.

Internet access is available to all trainees, and internet cafes are available throughout the city.
