Homestay

Residences

Hotels and Guesthouses

Homestay offers you the chance tostay with an English-speaking hostin their home. It is a great choice if
you want to practise your English
naturally outside of the classroom,
really experience the local life, or be ina more supportive environment. It alsooffers excellent value for money.

Student residences are ideal
for students looking for a more
independent lifestyle. Residences are
generally located closer to the schools
than homestays, often within walking
distance. You’ll also have the chance tomeet other international students andmake new friends! We offer a range ofroom types and meal options.

All of our centres have speciallynegotiated rates at a choice of hotels
and guest houses. They are locatedwithin easy reach of the schools.
These are a good option if you want
to be independent but benefit from all
the services that hotels offer, and are
ideal for business or executive clients.

• Choose from single or twin rooms• Half-board, bed & breakfast and selfcatering options available• Superior options are available atselected centres• St Giles uses trusted homestay
