Accommodation

Eurocentres Silicon Valley can organize several kinds of accommodation for you in Menlo Park and the immediate area.

Host Family
Most Eurocentres students who require housing stay with a host family. Each Eurocentres Silicon Valley host has been carefully chosen. Selection usually consists of a telephone interview, an in-home interview, and sometimes a follow-up meeting. We now work with more than 150 hosts, located in the area between San Carlos to the north and Sunnyvale to the south, and accessible by one hour or less of public transportation.

Hotel or Motel
Some students prefer to stay in a hotel. There are many hotels, motels and inns, starting from $70 plus tax per night, in the Menlo Park area for those interested in this option. A selected list is available on request.

Furnished Apartment
There are several complexes of short-term, furnished and unfurnished apartments, often used by corporate executives. The monthly rates are $1345-$3200, and the apartments are new, beautifully appointed and very clean. If you're interested, please ask for a brochure.

Other Options
Housing in this area can be difficult to find. If a student doesn't choose one of the options listed above, here are a few other ways to locate housing:
1. Local newspapers with classified sections showing rentals can be be viewed online. The Palo Alto Weekly, at www.PaloAltoOnline.com, comes out every Wednesday and Friday. The Palo Alto Daily News, at www.PaloAltoDailyNews.com, comes out every day except Sunday.
2. Craigslist, www.craigslist.org/pen, is an online bulletin board that has listings for apartments and shared housing in this area. You can find locations on the map. These listings are posted by individuals, not businesses; you will probably need to leave telephone messages with your contact information before you can see the apartments or rooms.
3. Some apartments advertise with "Apartment for Rent" signs outside the building. Students can go to the areas that interest them and look for such signs. We will be happy to go over maps of Menlo Park and the surrounding cities with students and give information about specific areas.
