Accommodation

It is essential that you arrange your accommodation before starting your course at Uxbridge College. A useful starting point is the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) who produce a series of guidance notes.

Accommodation costs vary but if you rent private accommodation in and around Uxbridge, rent prices start from £140 per week for a 1 bedroom flat and £215 per week for a 2 bedroom flat. If you share a room, you are likely to pay an average of £75 per week.

If you have not yet arranged your accommodation, the International Office at Uxbridge College can provide more information on local letting agencies.

Homestay
A good option would be to live with a family who will provide you with accommodation and in most cases meals. Staying with a host family can also help you learn more about British culture and practice your English language skills in a safe family environment.

Britannia Student Services is a leading accommodation agency in London and can help you find a suitable host family. For more information and/or to book a place, please visit Britannia's website (see URL below):
