If you are an international student who is relocating to the United Kingdom to study English, choosing conventional hotels and guest houses for your accommodation, might be a good idea. However, have you considered home stays as your primary accommodation whilst you study the intricacies of English? Homestays prove to be a better option as they offer you an opportunity to understand British culture, as you will be staying with a native family. Also, learning through immersion is one of the most useful tools for studying a new language. Living with native speakers will provide you with ample opportunities to practise speaking English.
There are many reasons why you would want to share a house or a flat.
1. It is economical – A house share will help you save a lot of money compared to an independent house. Moreover, there is a good chance that you will find a shared occupancy flat near to your learning centre, helping you save on your commute.
2. Opportunity to socialise – When sharing a flat with others, you get to know about their culture and background. In addition, you can practise speaking English with them and ask for constructive feedbacks.
Student residencies are the most preferred accommodation. You’re surrounded by people of your age who are all in the same boat. Living with people of the same age group and profession will provide you with several opportunities to create strong friendships. Not just this, it might positively impact your English studies, as you will have ample time to practice what you have learned at The Language Fair and gain confidence in your skills.

Studio apartments offer a great deal of convenience. If you are unsure whether you will adjust in shared accommodation, or homestays, we would recommend you to go for studio apartments. Studio apartments are ideal for single and double occupancies. Living separately will also offer you unrestricted freedom, and will help you enjoy your own company.
Students over the age of 18 can book and stay in Hotel Accommodation at one of several hotels close to The Language Fair learning centre. Hotels and Airbnb are a good option for accommodation if you are coming for a short course. However, these accommodations are subjected to availability and are known to put more pressure on the pocket.
