Mr. Mauro Biondi:

Fortunately, most of the junior programmes happen during the summer and so we avail of the residential accommodation provided by the colleges. This is fantastic because it is a different type of programme. A residential programme and course has its own characteristics. It is possible to provide a programme that attracts a certain type of student, especially for those undertaking the integrated language learning that Mr. O'Shea spoke of. It also compensates for the shortage of host families. The point Mr. O'Shea was making is very important, however. The language schools will have students accommodated before they arrive 99% of the time.
