Homestay Accommodation
We find that homestay is a good way of making contact with local Canadians
and practicing your English. You can choose the homestay family
according to your preferences regarding cost, smoking, type of food, pets, the
amount of privacy you want etc. We visit all the homestay families that we
recommend to make sure they are of a high standard.
All homestays include a private room, laundry and local telephone calls. Most offer meals. Homestay costs are generally around $700 per month, but vary depending on
what is included. If you want Medical English Language Institute in Vancouver to arrange the homestay for you we will go to the homestay and personally inspect it before you get here.
Bed & Breakfast (B&B)
These are small hotels or pensions which are a good option for the first few
days if you will be looking for a place to stay after you get here.
Apartments
Vancouver has a wide variety of furnished and unfurnished apartments available.
VMEI can find a furnished apartment for you in the downtown area, close to the
school. These apartments are comfortable and secure, and some have swimming
pools and exercise rooms. If you want, Medical English Language Institute in Vancouver will arrange it for you and personally inspect it before you arrive.
Shared Accommodation
It is common for two or more students in Vancouver to rent a house or apartment
and share the expenses. You may want to consider this after you meet other
students at the Institute, or you can look at the shared accommodation that is
advertised in the newspaper here. You will, however, have to make your own
arrangements for this type of accommodation.
