Homestay means you live with a family - in your own room or sharing with another student.

Staying with a host family may be a better option than residential if you want to practise the language with native English speakers and engage more with British culture. Sometimes, lasting friendships are made during homestays.

All families are carefully selected and pre-registered with the school.

A homestay student lives, eats, and shares the majoritiy of their time outside school hours with the hosts and their family. Family events such as dining out, amusement parks, camping, travel, etc. usually involve the host student who may or may not be expected to pay a portion for the participation (tickets, parking, gas, travel expenses, etc.). The student is invited to participate in Holiday festivities and family events (weddings, birthdays, etc.).

The student must abide by the host family's house rules such as; chores to perform, curfews, use of internet, telephone, guest visits, smoking and drinking.

All accommodation are quoted weekly from Sunday to Saturday.

Students must arrive on Sunday and depart on Saturday.

A guest house is a private home which has been converted for the use of guest accommodation. The owner usually lives in an entirely separate area within the property and the guest house may serve as a form of lodging business, similar to a bed and breakfast. Normally less expensive than a hotel.

There will also be a wide range of hotels and hostels on offer, from budget student hostels and guest houses to five star hotels. Your language centre will be able to recommend some good local options.

Many students arrange hostel or hotel accommodation during their first few weeks/months in the UK while they search for more permanent accommodation, if you wish to arrange your own hotel or hostel you may do so.

Shared or private apartment / flat. Students will either live on their own or with others, sharing the use of bathroom, living area and kitchen. Apartments will normally include; bathromm, kitchen, bedroom and living area. This type of accommodation is normally within reasonable distance of the school but students should check in each case as they may have to use public transport to travel to classes. Usually on a self catering basis where the student must carry out domestic duties by themselves, i.e. shopping, washing, cooking, etc.

Live on the school / college's campus (or private/university run residential campus) within private or shared dormitories or rooms. Normally under 24 hour supervision from team of on-site residential staff. In this type of accommodation the student will spend the majority of his/her time on campus with other students. The campus usually has a variety of facilities for the student's use in their free time.

Many international students in the UK live in this type of accommodation. They rent in halls of residence, student houses or flats, usually with their own room but sharing a kitchen and bathroom. If you prefer more privacy, sometimes it's possible to request a room with an en-suite bathroom.

There are many benefits of residential accommodation: independence, being close to campus and school life, and the ease of making friends with other international students.

Most daily contact is with other non-native speakers of English though. So, although this works for some people, it may not suit you if you are travelling to the UK to immerse yourself in the English language and British culture.
