Accommodation

Host family
Most of the families recruited by the school have welcomed students for several years and therefore are aware of their needs. They generally live around 15-25 minutes away from the school and offer accommodation in a single room with half board provided during the week and full board provided at weekends.During the high season, students under 16 years may be placed in a double room with another student of a different mother tongue but of the same age. For students travelling together, there is also the possibility of staying in a double room, which is at an attractive price. Contact us for further information on this offer.

Residence "Welkin Hall" (from 18 years) (available 11.07-18.09)
During high season, students looking for more independence can stay in the "Welkin Hall" residence on the University of Brighton campus. Situated around 15 minutes' walking distance away from the language school, you will stay in a single room with a private bathroom, and will have the use of an equipped kitchen to share meals and recipes with 6-8 other students. An excellent opportunity to make friends from the four corners of the world!
