Accommodation

Students staying at our Ravensbourne Summer Centre will stay with trusted and carefully selected homestay hosts or in a homestay provided by our of our partner organisers, giving them the perfect chance to experience British culture and daily life in a typical British household. This also gives them the opportunity to practise their English outside the classroom. Students will usually share a room, giving them the perfect opportunity to make new friends! At Twin, we carefully select our hosts based on the welcoming and safe living environment they provide and their experience in welcoming students from overseas, knowing that they will make the students feel comfortable and help them settle in. Students will leave the UK at the end of their summer programme with a varied experience and a greater understanding of life in the UK.  

The Discover London programme is unique to our Ravensbourne Centre and provides students with a chance to connect and make friends with other young people from all over the world. Our social activity programme is made up of exciting and engaging activities including discos, movie nights and walking tours, it also includes excursions to some of the country’s most popular and recognisable attractions such as Tate Modern and the British Museum.                                                                         

Those completing a typical two week programme with us will be able to spend one full day in Cambridge, a beautiful city in the countryside renowned for the top education its University provides, and one full day in Brighton, a very vibrant and modern seaside city. The programme follows a zig-zag pattern and includes five full-day London walking tours. Depending on the start date - students' fist day may be an excursion.
