HomestaysHomestay accommodation provides students with two choices: breakfast only or half board. Homestays are particularly beneficial if students wish to stay in a home environment and have the opportunity to learn the local culture while practising English. If you would like to book homestay accommodation you will need to contact the homestay provider directly. We have worked many years with London Host Families who are based in the west London area.

See londonhostfamilies.com

Please note: that all homestays are properly vetted by the agency. Students will not share a room with another guest, but the homestay may well host other guests that are aged 18+.

Organising the right accommodation is very important to ensure that students have a happy stay in the UK. The college does not offer an accommodation service but there are several accommodation options available to you:

• Homestays

• Hostels and hotels

• Private rented accommodation

ACCOMMODATION

8

Private Rented AccommodationThis type of accommodation provides greater privacy and independence. Students can move into shared accommodation or live independently in rooms, flats and houses let by their owners for residential purposes. It is generally cheaper than Halls of Residence but you may have to pay extra for utility bills.

Please note: these accommodation options are booked at the student’s own risk as they have not been vetted by the College.

Hostels Hostels provide accommodation in the form of a shared room with access to a communal bathroom and kitchen. Bear in mind that most hostels only accept students aged 18+.

LONDON SOCIAL PROGRAMMEFor many students, an important part of the Summer School is the opportunity to make new friends from other countries and visit London. The College runs an afternoon and evening social programme with regular activities and sightseeing trips.

There are also weekend trips outside London so you can see parts of England. These include Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge and Windsor.

Many of the attractions are free of charge. However, you are expected to pay for your own transport.

You will be given a social programme timetable and can book your place on the activities and trips you would like to take part in. You can visit the London Eye, the Tower of London, the London Dungeon, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and many other famous London sights. There are also trips to Harrods, the Hard Rock Cafe, the theatre and a salsa club. You can also use the College gym and fitness centre, and there are regular football matches. There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy!

Examples of activities/excursions you can enjoy are on the next page.

Students who are aged 16—17 will go on excursions with students aged 18+ and will therefore be treated as adults.
