AEI does not currently offer on-campus housing. However, we do provide housing resources for our students. The locations are relatively close to the school and offer easy access to Atlanta’s public transportation system. Depending on how long a student intends to study with us, the following options are available. The estimated costs are provided for budgetary purposes and are subject to change.

Homestay
Some choose to stay with American families while they are studying here. AEI is partners with Atlanta Homestays, a trusted company that places students in American homes in the Atlanta area, and the American Homestay Network, the world's most experienced international student homestay network company. Students that utilize homestay housing are able to easily experience American culture and enhance their English skills outside of their classes at AEI. Meals and transportation are available. Cost ranges from $150 – $350 weekly.

Friends and Family
Some students have friends or family here and will choose to stay with them while studying at Atlanta English Institute.

Temporary Housing
Some students will choose to stay in a hotel until they can visit a few apartment complexes or meet some of their new classmates to see if there is a roommate opportunity. The following hotels are near the school:
      • Hyatt Regency
      • Masters Inn
      • Crowne Plaza at Ravinia
      • Clarion Inn
      • Quality Inn

Some choose to live in an extended stay hotel for longer than a few days. AEI is partnered with Extended Stay America to develop discounted pricing for students ($210 and up weekly).

Rental Housing
Some students rent a house or apartment before traveling here so they have somewhere to go as soon as they enter the US ($500 – $1,500 monthly).

There are several resources available to help students locate the best rental property for their situation. AEI has partnered with PROMOVE, a realtor service for finding Apartments in the Atlanta area.

Roommates
Some students will want to find a roommate to share housing costs with. To connect with another student at AEI, contact the Student Life Coordinator.

For more information about housing, the availability of housing, and the possible connection with a roommate, please speak to the Student Life Coordinator in the main office.
