Host family
The school personally takes care of selecting the most suitable host families for its students. If you choose a “standard” host family you’ll stay in a twin or single room with half board and shared bathroom. “Superior” families offer private bathrooms. While “standard” families live around 15-45 minutes away from the school by bus, the “suburban” ones live 45-60 minutes away. If you want to get a real feel for British culture, there’s no better way than staying with a host family!
