Kaplan International

What better way to learn English in Oxford than to practise every day with a host family? If you’re looking for an authentic English immersion experience, host families are a great way to get to know the locals and learn more about the culture, sharing dinner and day-to-day life together. Host families are usually located between 20 and 45 minutes away from the school, and well-connected with local public transport. Half board every day and laundry service (once a week) are included, along with bed linen and towels.

This residence is perfect for students who want to plug straight into the vibrant student scene of Oxford, on the doorstep of the lively Cowley Road, just a 30-minute bus ride from the school. Students will be placed in a shared 4-bedroom apartment with a shared lounge and a fully stocked shared kitchen. Each room has an en suite bathroom, storage space, desk, lamp, chair and WIFI. The residence will provide students with linen, but they will be responsible for cleaning it themselves for a fee using the onsite laundry facilities – it’s recommended that students bring their own towel. Students will be encouraged to be independent; they will need to cater for themselves and keep their own space clean. Between classes, students can socialise and relax with their new friends in the shared common room.

PLEASE NOTE: this residence option will not be available from September 2023 onwards
