Accommodation

Given that the majority of our full-time students come from outside of the UK and European Union, we recognise how important it is for the College to help students find suitable accommodation. Our Accommodation Office is dedicated to this task.

The Accommodation Office provides information on the types of accommodation available, and is pleased to assist students in obtaining where suitable to live. We understand the importance of assisting students in finding accommodation prior to their arrival.

Accommodation booking fee of £35 applies per person.

Homestay accommodation is arranged by Hostfamilylondon.com. The minimum stay with a host family is 2 weeks.

Shared accommodation is for two guests (e.g. friends) booking together for the same dates.

Host Family

€200 per week per person

Most of our host families offer twin rooms, i.e. students share a room with another student. However, sometimes we are able to arrange single rooms - these have to be specifically requested and we cannot always guarantee that a single room will be available. Students get breakfast and an evening meal. All students receive their own set of keys. In most host families students have free internet access.

8 people share one room, kitchen and bathroom. It is self-catered accommodation and no meals are provided. The Hostel is situated next door to the College.
