Accommodation

Host family
Sharing the daily life and experiences of an English family is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the British culture and practise your English outside of the classroom in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The host families are carefully selected by our partner school and are located between around 20-45 minutes away from the school. If you choose this option, you will have a single room and half board.

Blue Boar Residence
The residence offered by our partner school is located in the centre of Oxford, close to the town’s shops, restaurants, cafés and local attractions. The course centre is only 15 minutes’ walk from there. 12 students from the whole world stay in the residence in 6 twin rooms (to be shared with another student), all of which include an en-suite bathroom. Two small kitchens equipped with a refrigerator and all necessary cooking utensils are available for the residents, who are accommodated on a self-catering basis. There are coin-operated washing machines and dryers in the common laundry room. In the twin room section, the students have access to a lounge with TV, video and DVD. Wireless Internet access is available. A warden is there to answer your questions or solve any problems.

Leisure

Our partner school in Oxford offers an animated program of excursions and activities: you can join regular outings to visit the country’s most famous spots – from Stonehenge to Alton Towers -; sports fans will also have numerous opportunities to play football, tennis or volley-ball. Between the Ashmolean museum, the Sheldonian theatre, Brasenose College, the Museum of Natural History, Bodleian’s six million works and the city’s eight centuries of history, you are certain to find something to satisfy your thirst for culture and superb walks. For going out with your friends at night, you will be spoilt for choice among the many excellent theatres and cinemas and numerous bars and restaurants of this eminently student city. And if London tempts you, hop on a train and in hardly an hour you will be in the heart of the city!

Testimonial

Mario Soares I am really happy I chose the Embassy CES language school in Oxford since it is a very good school, the teachers are very good and the whole school staff is friendly and helpful. Oxford is a very safe city. There are many students. Public transport is very good. There are many shops. There is a wide choice of food from the whole world for a reasonable price. In my opinion, it is a great city to learn English. Oxford est une ville très sûre. Il y a beaucoup d’étudiants. Les transports publics sont très bons. Il y a beaucoup de magasins. Nous avons un large choix de nourriture provenant du monde entier et qui ne coûte pas très cher. Selon moi, c’est une ville modèle pour apprendre l’anglais.
