Accommodations on Oahu Below is a listing of the kinds of accommodations available on Oahu: When you have been accepted into the English Study Tours program you will need to reserve accommodations on the Island of Oahu as soon as possible, for the length of time that you will be in Hawaii. Oahu is our home base, and many of our Study Tours activities take place on this island. You will have the choice of living with a family here in Hawaii, a homestay accommodation, or living in another kind of accommodations arrangement. Please take note: you will not need to book outer islands accommodations, we will book your hotel room for you on the outer islands that we’ve chosen for the first and second parts of our Study Tours adventures. It is important that everyone is located in the same hotel during these outer island excursions. You have the choice of sharing a room with another student, or having your own room. Sharing a room is a lot cheaper, but some students like their privacy. If you do not want to share a room, then there is an added expense that must be paid at the time you check into the hotel (roughly twice the cost of sharing the same room). Please let us know at the time of acceptance into the program if you do not want to share a hotel room on the outer islands part of our Study Tours excursion. You can find and reserve your accommodations in Hawaii by yourself, through your travel agent, or we can help you find a place to live. If you decide that you would like us to find you a place to live, please let us know this at the time of your acceptance into the program as we will need to reserve something for you well in advance of your arrival (at least 30 days in advance). If you choose to have us find you accommodations on Oahu, there is a placement fee for this service (see accommodations costs below).
Student homestay accommodations are available in Waikiki, Honolulu, Kailua, Kaneohe, and Hawaii Kai depending on availability. These include a room in the home of a local family and two meals per day. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to live with an English-speaking local family. Rates usually start at $875 / month plus set-up fees ($150) and admin fee. Weekly rates are usually available but they can be more expensive.
Studio apartments are available in Waikiki, Honolulu, Kailua, Kaneohe, and Hawaii Kai. Rental rates usually start at $950 / month and can be much higher. Weekly rates are usually available but they are much higher than monthly rates. Please make your reservations at least one month in advance of your arrival in Hawaii. If you would like us to find you a studio, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can reserve something for you (see accommodation fees). One-bedroom apartments are available generally in Waikiki, Honolulu, Kailua, Kaneohe, and Hawaii Kai. Monthly rates begin at $1200 / month and can go much higher. Weekly rates are usually available but they are much higher than monthly rates. Please make your reservations at least one month in advance of your arrival in Hawaii. If you would like us to find you a studio, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can reserve something for you
Sharing an apartment or house with other renters is a common way for students to live in Hawaii. Rental rates vary widely and can start at around $550 / month. Choosing room mates, housing, and location might be something best done with other students you are already familiar with or from your home country who would also like share an accommodation.
There are a few domitory-style accommodations on Oahu. Space is limited because of demand, and rent usually runs from $450 and up. Most of these dormitories have a private room with a shared bathroom and, in some cases, a shared kitchen.
English Study Tours offers Special English-only shared accommodations which are available on a first-come first-served basis. These accommodations include a private room plus shared bath (or baths) and kitchen. The residents of the home are native English speakers who are trained English facilitators (usually trained, professional ESL instructor/s). This is a chance to live and study in an English-only living accommodation which is a great way to improve your day-to-day English conversation skills. See rates below. In this program activities are ala carte. Students can choose activities to participate in, or can choose not to participate in organized activities. Tuition costs are the same as for the regular Study Tours program but lessons are 1 and 1/2 hours per day in addition to English coaching and a 100% English only environment 24 hours per day.
Aloha, and welcome to Hawaii. |
