Accommodations in London

In London, students are housed as a group in dormitory-style rooms with separate kitchen facilities. Students will be free to arrange lunches in accordance with each day’s activities, to take evening meals at local restaurants or pubs, or to share cooking with fellow students.

The location is convenient to transit, food stores, bakeries and coffee shops. It's central to all of the city, with easy access to London's theatres, parks, markets and cathedrals.

Homestay in Florence

In Florence, students live in Italian homes, where they take breakfasts and dinners. Host families reflect the diversity of Italian households and include parents with children as well as widows whose grown children have left the home. Some live closer to the city center than others, but few live in the old center itself.
