Portland International Student House

Study English in Portland and live in the International Student House.

In the Student House, you will share a big house with other international students enrolled in PELA. There is an American manager who lives in the house. He can help you with everything about living in the Student House. In the Student House, you will have a private room with your own key. Your room will have a bed, desk, lamp, closet, and mirror. Towels, sheets, blankets, and pillows will be provided to you. Most rooms have their own sink. There are shared bathrooms on each floor of the house.

In the Student House you will share a large, fully stocked kitchen, a large living room, and a dining room. You can use the cable TV, the DVD player, a desktop computer, and the free wireless internet connection that covers the whole house. The house also has a shared phone line and answering machine. There is a coin operated washer and dryer in the basement.

Free bread and pastries are served twice a week and free bagels are served once a week. As a resident in the Student House, you will have one weekly cleaning chore.

The Student House is located in the "Northwest 23rd" neighborhood. It is a very exciting and convenient part of Portland. It is surrounded by many great shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. We are a short walk to 2 large grocery stores.

The Student House is near 2 bus lines, the MAX light rail train, the Portland Streetcar and 7 blocks from Portland’s free rail zone (free MAX trains and Streetcar). It takes 20 minutes to walk to our school and 10 minutes by bus or train.

We are also a 5 minute walk to Portland's Rose Gardens and Forest Park, which features 30 miles of hiking and biking trails.

Space is limited to 7 students. If the student House is full, we will arrange a good homestay for you and you can move into the Student House when it becomes available.
