SGI English school has lots of fantastic student accommodation options.
There is something to suit every student budget, ranging from communal residences and all the way up to executive apartments.
This means that it does not matter if you are on a strict budget or you really want the absolute best accommodation on offer, you can stay in comfort while you are living in London on your study holiday.
In the video below, Mark, the owner of Saint George International, answers the most commonly asked questions about accommodation for students that people ask the SGI office staff when they are arranging their English course.
STUDENT RESIDENCES IN CENTRAL LONDON
SGI has 8 different residences for our students to choose from.
The closer you stay to the school then the more you will pay, because SGI is right in the centre of London and the closer you are to the centre of the city, then the more it costs to stay there.
One of the most popular student residences is International Students House. It is about 10 minutes walk away from the school walking through a nice part of London past some embassy buildings. It is also right next to Regent’s Park, which is one of the most beautiful open spaces in London and great for chilling out with your new friends from the SGI student family.
HOMESTAY WITH A LONDON FAMILY
Living with a family in a London Homestay accommodation will give you an insider’s view of English culture.
Your homestay family will speak to you in English, of course, and also eat their family meals with you (if that is the option you choose).
This is a great way to improve your English by speaking to Londoners at a natural speed and forcing yourself to live in an English world where you are constantly learning.
If you are an Anglophile, then Homestay will be a world of wonder for you, as you experience English customs, food, conversation, politeness and everyday life.
With prices starting at only £160 per week, Homestay is a great deal for a true taste of English life and character.
