Students have the opportunity to live with an Irish host family. These families are individually selected in order to guarantee, in so far as possible, the best combination of student and family.
All host families are local families, with the availability to host and care for a student.
Host family room and board is part of the tradition of the Rosemont International programme as we feel that it helps the girl to settle and to have the best opportunity to learn and improve their English. All families are screened and approved by the Rosemont international team and we have good relationships established with all families.
Every girl is expected to keep her room orderly and to make her bed in the mornings.

The host family is the best!
Before I came here I was really scared about whether or not I was going to like my host family but I remember the ride home from the airport when I arrived and I already felt totally relaxed with them and I remember wondering why I had been so scared! It's really natural how you just fit into the family dynamic and they make you feel totally at home.
We do plans together in the evenings and on Sundays and whenever my little host brothers and sisters ask if I am going to go with them my host mother always says "Of course! She's a part of this family too!". It makes me feel like I do when I am at home with my real family and this makes you feel right at home. ​
