You will have your own bedroom with a private bathroom and will share the common rooms (kitchen and living room) with other international students.

Leisure

Using your English in a sporting or social context is a great way to develop the skills you will have acquired in class. This is why our partner school offers students the chance to participate in activities and outings each week, some free or at reduced prices, during the week and on weekends. The program includes sporting activities such as basketball, football or tennis, but also cultural excursions to museums, the theatre or cinema, not to forget the nights out: pub, nightclub or to the Babylon Lounge Club, for example. Weekend trips are also offered: Cambridge, Oxford, Portsmouth and of course London.
