Host Families for summer Students

    Really have no idea where to put this, but since it's to do with money i'll put it here *mods feel free to move this if not the right area*

    So myself and my fianceé have a two bed house at the moment, and the spare room is not in use, so it's just lying idle.

    She's just finished her masters but doesn't look like she'll get a job straight out and we need some extra money for the wedding next year.

    So we need some extra money for the time being and i remembered my mum used to take in students over the summer when i was a little fella,

    Thing is i've done a search on google and have had very little returns on host families/schools,

    2 in total actually,

    So i'm wondering does anyone else host students here, and if so could you reccomend one of the schools in Dublin please?

    Thank you

    Been there, done that (twice). Never again!

    And you need to make a mini-industry out of it (several students from different countries) to make it worth while.

    santa maria college in ballyroan, a place local to me was where they had their english classes, we took in one for 4 weeks one summer too...maybe give their reception a bell - see if they still do it/know the number of the lads that do it!
