Most students like to arrive at their program city a day or two before their program begins. This helps to adjust to a new timezone and gives the chance to get oriented in a new city.
Many programs will have accommodation arranged for you just before and just after the course begins (check with us for details), but you may need to book some temporary accommodation either before or after your program.
We recommend that you book accommodation through
Hostel World who's booking engine allows you to book one of 20,000 hostels in 170 countries. Great for your post-program travels too!
