Choice of
accommodation
Where a student lives strongly contributes
to ensuring their studies are a positive
experience.
Both types of accommodation ensure that
our international students get the very most
out of their studies at College and their overall
experience of living in a foreign country for the

‘Homestay’. The student house accommodation is just a 2 minute walk from the College gates and offers a choice of bedrooms,

British family in their home and will have the opportunity to practice conversational English with them. Great care is taken to
find the best choice for each individual student and our Home Stay accommodations are regularly visited by the International
Student Officer and are checked to ensure student safety and comfort.
