Long Term Study
The longer that you can live and study in England, the more fluent and confident you can become in communicating in English. Eastbourne is a good place to study English for 24 weeks or more for many reasons:
- a small friendly and safe town
- easy to walk around
- close to some stunning countryside and many important historic places in England
- only 90 minutes by train from London so easy to visit for an evening to see a football match or musical
- easy to get to - close to international airports, ports and train stations.
Also the size of the town and the cost of living make Eastbourne cheaper than many other destinations in the UK. Staying in homestay only costs £129 per week for a single room with breakfast and dinner every day, plus lunch at weekends. As most of our homestays are in walking distance you probably won't need to buy a travel card or bus pass.
