We believe that living with
a homestay is the best way for students to improve their
English, and to find out more about British culture. CESC
is the only language school in Colchester
offering accommodation, so we can choose from the very best
local families. Typically, accommodation comprises:
- a
comfortable, well-furnished single room with desk (towel
and sheets included)
- half-board
Monday-Friday (breakfast
& evening meal); full-board Saturday & Sunday (breakfast,
lunch, evening meal)
We never place students of the
same nationality in a homestay unless requested to do so.
Many of our students live less than 5 km from
the school, and most bus services from homestays to the school
are direct.
We can take into account the special needs of diabetic and vegetarian students,
if we are given sufficient notice. Please let us know if
you have any medical problems. Our accommodation officer, Helen
Thompson, has almost 20 years of
experience. CESC's accommodation placement service is FREE -
there is no accommodation placement fee. Some of our host
families have worked with us for over 20 years.
Many of them have enjoyed excellent relationships with
the students who stayed with them, and have even visited
them in their home countries afterwards (for weddings,
family events, etc). Students even stay with their past
host families when they come back to the UK on holidays! |
