HOUSING
London is home to 18 universities and competition for housing is fierce. We place our students in shared apartments, dorms or hotels. Students share twin rooms and a bathroom and basic kitchen facilities. We are regularly impressed with the meals our students manage to achieve in their kitchen areas. We supply bedding and a kitchen pack and will offer more information in due time. Please remember – as space in London is limited, Londoners are used to compact living spaces.
All our housing is within a 30- minute commute of CIEE London either by walking, bus or underground. We will get you started with a travelcard when you arrive, but you should budget for travel expenses while you are in London. Don’t worry - you will feel like a local in no time!

MEALS
No meals are provided in residence halls or apartments. Students are responsible for lunches. Students will have access to kitchen facilities to cook their own meals or can take advantage of the many neighborhood cafes and restaurants.
