Many relationships formed in homestays continue even after students return home. Most homestay neighborhoods require either a 30-45 minute walk to the ELC, or a short bus, subway, or train ride. The cost of the homestay includes 3 family meals a week and a self-serve breakfast each morning. Use of the family telephone is free for local calls. Long distance requires a calling card.
Some families allow private telephone lines to be established at an additional cost.
Linens and bedding are provided as part of your homestay. Payments are made directly to your host family on a monthly basis. Housing deposits and placement fees are nonrefundable. Housing rates are subject to change. MEAL PLAN Drexel ELC students may participate in Drexel University's meal plan and eat in the student cafeteria.
