Our homestay hosts are all carefully chosen by our Accommodation Manager, but our superior rooms offer a higher standard of accommodation. Your room will usually be larger and decorated to a higher standard. There will be a separate bathroom for you to use, although in some cases you may be asked to share this with another student. You may also be offered an extra course with your evening meal.
Superior homestay accommodation is popular with students who want to have more privacy. This accommodation is located in the same areas as our regular homestays.
You will have a single bedroom unless you have chosen to share with a friend or relative, and your room will contain a bed, desk, chair and storage space for your clothes and belongings. There may be other students staying with the same homestay host, but they will not speak the same language as you.
When you apply for your homestay accommodation, we will place you with the best host for your needs (for example, if you have allergies or special dietary requirements). If you need a special diet you must tell us when you book.
