Communal Living

If you have not had the experience of living with strangers before, it is worth remembering the following:

  • You are individually responsible for cleaning your bedroom and the communal areas.
  • You must leave areas as you find them - especially the kitchen. It is a good idea to have a cleaning rota with other students in the house. Cleaning equipment (a vacuum cleaner, floor mop and cleaning cloths) are provided. Please report anything that is missing or damaged.
  • Remember that everyone has to use the bathroom in the house, so be aware of others' timetables and work schedules and try not to spend extended times in the bathroom.
  • On your final day, please leave your room clean and tidy ready for the next student. Please wash all bed linen and make sure that it is dry and ready for the next person to use. Any damage done to the room or the furniture will have to be paid for.
  • Please remember to leave our keys in your room on your final day in the student house/flat. You may be charged up to £80 for lost or unreturned keys.
  • Note that communal products, e.g. washing powder, cleaning aid, toiletries etc. are not provided.
  • You should not expect to practise your English in the student house as much as you would do in a homestay, and there may well be students of the same mother tongue living there who choose to speak their language to each other. If you main priority for coming to England is to improve your English and you want to do this as quickly as possible, we recommend living with a homestay.
