Hosting an international student is a lovely way to share everyday Irish life while helping someone feel at home during their time studying English.
It’s about simple things — meals, chats, routines, and feeling welcome.
Hosting is about welcoming someone into your home and helping them feel comfortable while they study English here in Ireland.
For students, living with a local family is often the highlight of their time here.
Complete a short application form so we can get to know a little about you and your home.
We’ll visit your home, answer any questions, and talk through what hosting involves.
We’ll guide you through the Garda vetting process step by step and support you with any paperwork. This is a straightforward requirement and helps ensure a safe, positive experience for everyone.
We place students thoughtfully, taking into account your household, routines, and availability to make hosting enjoyable for everyone.
Students enjoy a warm place to stay, shared meals, and relaxed conversations — becoming part of the household during their time in Kerry.
Our accommodation team is available throughout the student’s stay if you ever need help, advice, or reassurance.
We’re happy to talk things through and answer any questions you may have.
