Accommodation
Abacus College believes that providing accommodation in which you feel relaxed and at home is of major importance. We want you to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay while studying with us and we will do our best to meet your individual needs. All college arranged accommodation is checked on a regular basis.
Types of accommodation:
Homestay – Carefully selected, welcoming families. You will have your own comfortable study-bedroom, breakfast and evening meals, a laundry service, and the opportunity to share family life. (Cost: £140 – £150 per week)
Homestay Plus – Homestays plus families provide a higher level of support and supervision and is compulsory if you are aged under 16. (Cost: £150 – £160 per week)
Self-Catering Homestay – These homestays will allow you to cook your own meals. (Cost: £110 – £130 per week)
Private Home – While a homestay family may live at the same property, with this option you can enjoy a little more independence. Please note that cooking facilities are not necessarily available. (Cost: £140 – £150 per week)
*Please note that places in a private home and self-catering homestay are limited and advance booking is required. Internet access is available at most homestays but not guaranteed. Free internet is available at the college Monday to Friday 09:00 – 17:30.
Application
If you wish to arrange accommodation through the college you must complete and send us an accommodation application form. While all attempts will be made, we cannot guarantee that all requirements will be met. Priority will be given to requests that suit particular medical requirements.
Terms
If you wish to leave your homestay, four weeks’ notice is required to be made to the college. For more information, please see our terms and conditions.
Payments
Accommodation is charged for the whole length of the course including holidays. There will be a £5 monthly charge for payments made through the college.
