Accommodations - Doing Our Best for Your Comfort

At each ELC you may choose to stay with an American family, share dormitory life with fellow students, or enjoy the privacy of your own apartment. Whichever living accommodations you decide are best for you, the Housing Directors in Boston and Los Angeles will gladly help arrange them.
