1. Homestay
A homestay involves living with a local family in the country where an international student is staying, allowing you to learn the country’s culture and language. Living with the family helps improve language skills through communication and provides understanding of their lifestyle, values, and cultural practices.
2. Guesthouse
A guesthouse is accommodation where the kitchen, bathroom, and shower are shared. Rooms may be assigned as 4-person rooms or dormitories of 6 to 8 people, with several travelers sharing a room. When traveling briefly to another country, staying in a guesthouse lets you meet various travelers, share stories, and exchange travel information.
3. Apartment share
An apartment share is a type of accommodation where about 5–6 international students rent a house and live together. Depending on the condition of the home, you can choose a private room or share a room with one roommate. Unlike a homestay, it is not a family arrangement; residents share household tasks such as meals, cleaning, and laundry with their housemates. It offers the advantage of living and socializing with friends from various countries.
