¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®

International students may choose one of three accommodation options:

• Homestay
• Residence living on campus (traditional dormitory-style or apartment-style)
• Off-campus housing

Homestay Accommodation 

¾«Í¯ÓûŮ’s Homestay program is managed by ¾«Í¯ÓûŮ’s English Language Centre. Host homes are carefully selected, and families interviewed to ensure a good fit for both student-visitors and host families. An on-campus Homestay coordinator is also available to assist students and host families should any difficulties arise. A Homestay is more than renting a room; host families welcome students as members of the family and are eager to assist in learning English and sharing Canadian culture.

Homestay provides:

• a clean private heated room in which to relax and study
• three meals a day, and access to all home facilities, such as kitchen and laundry
• transportation to and from ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® once a day (unless within walking distance or on the bus line)
• arranging sponsorship guarantees for minors, if required.

Because Charlottetown is a small community, we often know the families on the Homestay list personally. Many of our host families have been successfully hosting ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® students for years. PEI is a very safe, hospitable place.

¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® Residences

Located on the ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® campus, clean, modern, well-equipped and convenient – Residence living is a comfortable way to become familiar with your new home away from home.

Read about the facilities, rooms, meal plans, and costs on the Residence Services website.

Off-campus housing

Many apartment rentals are available very close to ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®. Students are often looking for someone to share with and to sublet their apartment for the summer months. To see what is available, visit our Off-campus Housing Office.
