Pension Life
The College’s founder, Leonard Wilde, believed that placing students with local families would enhance their understanding of the cultural nuances of their adoptive home, and amplify all the lessons that a year abroad can teach.
So it is that since its earliest days
that students have been placed with local family hosts within a network of pensions. Today, nearly 70 families – many of whom have been part of College life for over a decade - open their doors to NJC students, generously offering students the support, warmth, language practice, exposure to traditions and dinner time conversations that will help them excel academically and feel part of European life.
Pension living has been cited as one of the most rewarding and educational elements of Neuchâtel school life. Students travel by train, tram or bus between the school and their accommodations, which are beautifully situated around the area. Understandably, choice of placement family is critical to ensuring that student and family alike have the most positive experience possible. Matches are made with considerable care for both student and pension family’s personal needs.
