Faculty Qualifications |

| The ELC provides homestay information throughout the year and on-campus housing in dormitories during the summer session. Students who choose the homestay option will live together with carefully selected host families, with whom they will have plentiful opportunities to interact in English while directly experiencing the local culture. Students living in on-campus dormitories will be close to classes, campus activities, and other students - both American and international. It is best to arrange housing as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. The school also provides information regarding off-campus apartments, but students have to make the necessary arrangements by themselves. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

| The ELC is located on the main campus of Northeastern University, in the Back Bay section of Boston. Boston is renowned for its beauty and historical significance, as well as being the site of over 60 educational institutions, which attract students from around the word. Northeastern University faces popular Huntington Avenue, which has recently been dubbed "Avenue of the Arts," as it is host to many of the city's cultural institutions: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum, and Symphony Hall are among its neighbors. Students can also enjoy the popular cafes, world-famous shopping, and entertainment attractions of nearby Copley Place and Newbury Street. Boston has a very convenient transportation system that students can use for sightseeing. Outside of Boston students can also visit places like exciting New York City and the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. within a days traveling distance. |
