| Embassy CES provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. For students who prefer a more independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the campus environment. Homestays are also a living option for those students who want to experience the local culture as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

The campus is located 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Los Angeles and its well-known destinations, including extravagant Beverly Hills, the Hollywood "Walk of Fame" and the pristine Pacific Ocean beaches. Besides being the epicenter of the American film industry, Los Angeles - the second-largest city in the United States and nicknamed the "City of Angels" - is alive with fantastic theater, music and concert venues, world-class museums (more than any other city in the United States), first-rate shopping, thrilling amusement parks and extensive outdoor recreation opportunities. L.A. is called home by people from more than 140 countries and who speak over 200 different languages. The city's patchwork of colorful ethnic neighborhoods - from Chinatown, Koreatown and Thai Town to Little Ethiopia, Historic Filipinotown and Little Armenia - demonstrates the diverse cultural character that Los Angeles is popularly known for. Public transportation is convenient within the Los Angeles metropolitan area with buses, subways and trains available to easily transport visitors and residents to such well-known destinations as Disneyland and Universal Studios in addition to San Diego and stunning Santa Barbara. For weekend excursions, residents often drive and visit the perennially-famous Las Vegas, picturesque San Francisco, the celebrated Yosemite National Park and the majestic Grand Canyon. |
