Accommodation

Shared Homestay

With our homestay hosts, students will have the opportunity to experience British family culture. With Britain being a diverse and multiethnic society, you may experience more than one culture in a single household. You will have the opportunity to try out the food served by that household and practice your English with the family. Each week bedding is changed, laundry wash is provided as well as cleaning.

 

Residential

Our Residential accommodation is located on the top floor of the school building, allowing students to make friends and sleep in the same building where Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II once stayed at. Most bedrooms have four or five beds, but we also have four very large bedrooms that have up to 12 beds. Students will also have access to shared bathroom facilities on a daily basis. Students can use coin operated washing machines and dryers, only under the supervision of group leaders. Laundry powder is included. Fresh linen will be provided, but please bring your own towel.

Students should remember to bring an adaptor (Europe to UK/Ireland) for all their electronic/charging needs.
