Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Athlone. These homes are often between 45 - 55 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Athlone, also part of Ireland’s Ancient East, and just one hour from the Wild Atlantic Way, is the perfect location for those who want to escape the big city for a truly Irish experience in this lively regional town in the heart of Ireland, while still being within easy reach of Dublin airport.
Athlone, soon to be a university town, is a historical medieval Irish town located on the beautiful River Shannon. It attracts many tourists and international students and is a busy regional centre for top businesses. Considering that the town centre is only 1.5 hours from Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Kilkenny, with excellent bus and rail
connections, it is also surprising how much more affordable the cost of living is here.
The friendly welcome will be the biggest attraction for our students who are looking for somewhere homely. We know you will be impressed with Athlone and not to mention the FL school facilities which are excellent.
