Your Accommodation in New York

MSA (Medical Studies Advisory) can find you a safe, cosy place while you are taking part in one of our courses. All of our student dorms and host family houses are in safe, central areas of New York. Here you will live with other participants from all over the world, who would also like to improve their English. In case you decide to stay with a host family, you will have plenty of opportunities to practise your English by interacting with an American family.

The costs range from USD 1,000 to 1,800 per month. The price differences depend on whether you choose a single or a double room, the location and the season. In certain accommodation types, meals are included.

We offer accommodation in student dorms, as well as in host families.

Homestays/Host Families

The best way to put the knowledge you gain in the courses into practice and to widen it is to use it directly with a host family. Our host families live in areas inside and around New York. You will experience everyday life with an American family. In host families you will live in individual rooms with a bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a desk. You can choose to be given only breakfast, or breakfast and dinner. The host families are situated between 20 and 50 minutes away from ALCC.
