Each student will live with a British family in a Canterbury home; every effort is made to find accommodation within two miles of the college campus. The student will have a private room and eat breakfast daily at the home (other meals are at the student’s expense, but the College has an economical cafeteria) and the family provides once-a-week laundry. Every effort is made to match each student to a family of similar interests and let the relationship develop as each party wants. For many, the home-stay is the beginning of a life-long friendship and provides unique insight into the British way of life.
As an important part of the educational experience, the program includes trips to famous sites in the southern part of England (these are examples and may not be the exact schedule this year):
The student’s class schedule is arranged with three-day weekends to encourage independent travel to other parts of the United Kingdom or Europe. Students may take advantage of optional weekend trips planned by the College to Edinburgh, Amsterdam, and other locations, and will find great assistance in arranging an extensive tour of the Continent at the end of the academic program, if desired.
