Abacus College / Oxford Language Centre believes that providing accommodation in which a student is relaxed and at home is of major importance.

The Welfare and Accommodation Officer gives students all possible help in selecting suitable accommodation. When applying for admission to the college, students are asked to state their preferences for their accommodation and all arrangements will be made and notified well in advance of arrival.

Hotel bookings can be made for parents who wish to accompany a son or daughter at the start of a course.

The following choices are available:

	Homestay accommodation with carefully selected, welcoming families. Students have comfortable study-bedrooms, breakfast and evening meals, a laundry service, and the opportunity to share family life. Some families offer students the option of doing their own catering.
	Private home accommodation, where several students live in the home and where there is less involvement with the families than in homestay accommodation. Breakfast, evening meals and laundry service are provided. Some self-catering places are also available.
	Self-catering accommodation.

There will normally be only one student of any one nationality or mother tongue accommodated with each family.

Some students may prefer to stay in hotels or guest houses and the Accommodation Officer will provide every assistance to those students wanting this kind of accommodation.
