HOUSING
Take advantage of Au Pair Weekend's partnership with Hostelling International in NYC! Just add housing to your purchase when registering for a course.
Housing is not included with registration for this course. However, as a convenience to students we offer the option of adding housing at a hostel within 30 minutes of our campus by subway. Beds are limited and may sell out; they are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can add a 2-night stay (Friday & Saturday) at the hostel in a shared room with 8-20 beds. There will be a $50 administration fee for all housing refunds. Refunds only allowed up to 30 days prior to the weekend start date.
