Accommodation in Chester
Over 85% of our students choose homestay accommodation. It is the best way to meet people, practise your English and discover more about our culture.
All our homestays are carefully selected by our Student Services Team who understand the needs of students from other countries.

Most students typically stay in single rooms with breakfast and dinner every day. Other meal plans may be available on request. Normally, you share a bathroom with the family. Typically arrival day with the host is Sunday before the course starts and departure day is the Saturday or Sunday after the course ends. You live as a member of the household, eating meals together and sharing common living areas. The host will clean your room and provide you with towels and bedding. One load of laundry per week is included in the cost.
