WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY?

ACCOMMODATION

Living with a local family helps students to relax and integrate into life in Ireland and is a lovely way to start your time here. All host families and inspected and monitored by the college.  We have many families within walking distance of our college or a short bus ride away who have been hosting with us for many years.

At Griffith, we have a policy of recruiting families in safe and secure areas with high-quality houses. We inspect all of our families against a set of national standards, as well as some additional standards that we have added ourselves. Our host families are given a handbook and sign an agreement when the accommodation officer is satisfied with the inspection. All our families are re-inspected once a year or if an issue has been raised.  The family will welcome you to their home and you can speak English throughout your stay. All our families are half board which means they provide breakfast and dinner Monday – Friday and breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday.

In the host family your will have a comfortable room with clothes storage, access to shower / bath, adequate study and fresh home prepared meals.
