I think that the cultural, social, sporting activities and weekend excursions welcomed me, so I could "feel" the ‘Oxford Spirit’. The lessons were excellent and adapted for my needs.

Homestay

Living with a homestay is the perfect way to help you practise your English outside the classroom and understand British culture. Most students ask us to find homestay accommodation for them.

In our last British Council inspection the organistion of our homestays was rated as excellent.

Homestays offer independence and welcoming, clean and comfortable accommodation. In addition, you will meet a friendly family to talk to and exchange cultures with.

What are your special requirements?

We choose your homestay carefully, so when you register, we will ask you what kind of homestay you would like to stay with. Some homestays have accommodation with private bathroom.

All of our homestays:

  • are carefully-selected for their friendliness and are regularly revisited
  • are within walking distance or a bus ride away from the school
  • provide bed, breakfast and evening meals Monday to Friday, with all meals at the weekend
  • give you a single room
  • promise never to have 2 students of the same first language unless requested
  • are experienced in looking after students of all ages and nationalities

Before you arrive in England you receive a profile of the homestay you are going to stay with. We also give the homestay some information about you.
