Accomodation
Accommodation is available for all students who attend the language school. Room and board are offered at reasonable rates so that the language learning experience can progress without the encumbrance of many of the concerns of day-to-day living. This also means that while learning Kiswahili at the Language School students can share in the unique experience of living and learning with a diverse community of people from all over the world. In one recent Long Course, for example, there were students from Germany, Italy, Argentina, USA, Poland, South Korea, India, and New Zealand all living and learning together. It is our goal to make your stay at the Language School a pleasant one so that learning can be maximized.
Housing
The Language School has seven housing units, each with several rooms of various sizes. Single students are provided with private rooms while families are assigned room "clusters" according to family size. Each room has electricity with a British specification of 13 amps, 240 volts, and 3 square-pin sockets. Our electricity is available 24 hours a day but because of occasional power cuts, it is useful to bring a torch (flashlight). Candles can be bought on campus if desired.
The bathrooms have flush toilets, showers, and hot water. There are only showers, however, so if you need baby baths and buckets you should either bring them or buy them in Morogoro. Bed linens, towels, and mosquito nets are provided for the dorm rooms. Laundry services are weekly, reliable, affordable, and necessary, though you must wash your own underpants. There is a TV and VCR in the Common Room and you are welcome to bring your own videos to watch.
Dining
Board at the Language School includes 3 meals a day as well as morning and afternoon tea breaks. The friendly kitchen staff prepares fresh meals using only locally grown foods. A diverse and international menu contains some of the favorites of home while introducing students to the food of Tanzania and other places. Soda is available for a small price. There is also a common refrigerator available for students to store food if they purchase it in town.
