Intrax Chicago Accommodations

Choose Between Three Options

1. Independent Housing Options

There are many types of housing options that you can book yourself! An Intrax staff member has visited all of these options and we think they are a great value and close to Intrax. Booking details can be found on their website and they must be booked directly – Intrax cannot book these for you.

2. Homestay Accommodation

Living with a family is a unique way to experience American traditions and culture first hand. It's also a great opportunity to become fully immersed in the English language and practice your English language skills with real Americans every day.
When you select our homestay option, you are placed with a trusted family in the Chicago area who we have carefully screened and interviewed. We have both single and double occupancy options, and most homestay families provide 14 meals per week (breakfast and dinner).

Please note: The Intrax Housing Coordinator asks that you give at least 4 weeks notice before you arrive so we can reserve your homestay. The Housing Coordinator is also available to answer any questions you may have about living with an American family.

Intrax Homestay fee: $40 per night (age 18+) $45 per night (age 16-17)

3. Residence Club Accommodation

When you choose to live in a Residence Club you will enjoy an independent living situation with an international atmosphere, dormitory-style housing and meal options or shared kitchen. Residence clubs also provide an opportunity to get to know students and travelers from all over the world.
