More info
There are two types of accommodations:
Homestay: Living with a homestay family offers an unforgettable experience that helps students gradually adjust to and learn about British culture, avoiding cultural shock. It's proven that student welfare significantly impacts grades and focus. Our homestays provide not just meals and accommodation but also interaction, English language practice, and a home-like environment.
House Share: For students seeking a more independent lifestyle, our house shares in central London offer the perfect solution. Students share accommodations with other international students, fostering a communal living experience.
Prices for homestays range from £170.00 to £250.00 per week.
Airport Transfers: If it's your first time in the UK, Hosts International can arrange airport to accommodation transfer services.
Travel Insurance: To ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience during your course, we highly recommend obtaining travel insurance before your studies begin. Travel insurance is essential for protecting your financial investment in case of unforeseen events like illness or serious accidents that prevent travel. It covers various expenses such as:
- Replacing a lost passport or visa
- Replacing lost or stolen luggage
- Course fees if you need to cancel your course early due to illness or accident
- Medical bills in the UK if you are ill or have an accident
Immigration Health Surcharge: For short-term English study visas, this fee is part of your online visa application, granting you access to the UK's comprehensive range of national health services, including free doctor appointments and hospital services.
All students have access to emergency healthcare services at no charge while in the UK. In case of an emergency requiring immediate medical attention, dial 999 to request an ambulance. There are no costs for contacting emergency services or receiving urgent care at public hospitals, though expenses may be incurred for extended hospital stays or further treatment.
