Glasgow School of English

By staying with a Scottish host family, you'll practise English every day and make fast progress. In addition, the daily contact with the people will teach you about the local customs and lifestyle. In pleasant, safe neighbourhoods, at a distance of about 30 minutes (Zone 1) to an hour (Zone 2) by public transport from the school, host families provide single rooms, shared bathrooms and half-board. The school maintains close relationships with host families who are visited on a regular basis in order to ensure the comfort of the international students.

For students wanting to spend their time in Glasgow surrounded by fellow students in a social, comfortable atmosphere – just 20 minute's walk from the classroom. Students will be placed in a single room in a flat shared with 4 other students. The flat is equipped with WIFI, a shared living room and kitchen that students can use to cater for themselves. Each room includes an ensuite bathroom, wardrobe and desk. Students will be given linen upon arrival, which they can clean for a fee using the onsite facilities – students will need to bring their own towels. Students will need to keep their own spaces and the shared flat areas clean. Between classes, students can socialise with their new friends in the many common areas, such as the common room with a games console and pool table or the outdoor grassy area.
