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!

George Street Residence
This residence will make your study time in Brighton even more enjoyable. Just a 4 minute walk from the school building, it is ideally located in a quiet street, close to the city centre and its numerous cafés, restaurants, bars and shops, which are all within walking distance. The 30 single rooms with private shower/WC are spread over 3 floors and some of them have a small balcony. The guests from all over the world can prepare their meals in 3 fully equipped kitchens. Facilities include two student lounges with TV, free Wi-Fi internet access and bedlinen (please bring your own towels). Weekly housekeeping is provided.
