Living with an English family is a great way to practise your English and to get to know the English way of life. You are  immersed in the English language and culture.Your family may be a family with children, an older couple without children or a person living alone. All families are carefully selected and visited. Most of them are Christians.

Olivet is in the centre of the city, surrounded by shops, offices and small apartments.Most families live in houses in the residential suburbs, a short bus ride from Olivet. The bus stops outside the school.

You have your own study/bedroom and share the kitchen, bathroom, lounge, etc.with the family.

You pay your accommodation money direct to the family, not to the school, usually 4 weekly in advance.

 Nobody lives at the school.

Meals with the family

The family gives you all your meals except mid-day lunch Monday to Friday when you are at school.

Buy and cook your own food

In some families you can buy and cook your own food. This can be very good if you are staying for a long time or need a special diet.

These 'families' are often a man or woman living alone but we are careful - we usually arrange for women to stay with women!

The Olivet Student House (residential accommodation)

(No Arrangement fee)

The student house is near the city center, only 2 minutes walk from Olivet.  When you stand at the fornt door you can see the sea!

 You live with students (18+ years) from all round the world and make good friends. You are more
 independent than when living with a family
 but you may not have so many opportunities
  to talk with native English speakers.

 There are 6 study/bedrooms, a kitchen/dining
 room, lounge, 2 bathrooms and extra WC.
 You have your own study/bedroom and share
 the rest of the house with the other students.
 You buy and cook your own food and keep
 the house clean.

 You pay for your room plus a share of the cost
 of electricity and gas but you do not have to
 pay for a bus ticket to get to and from Olivet;
 it’s almost next door!

Before you go into the house your pay a damage deposit.
When you leave this is returned to you if everything is clean and in good oder.

We can help you find a flat or house to rent for your time here.
The cost depends on the size of the flat/house and the time of year; say GBP 100.00 to GBP 250.00 per week.

If you are staying for less than 6 months you have to take 'holiday' accommodation which is much more expensive.
