Host Family Accommodation
One of the benefits offered to International Students is accommodation with a host family organised by Brockenhurst College.
Students live with local families in nearby towns and villages and travel to College by bus or train. Families are selected, inspected and monitored by College Accommodation Officers, and all family members have to pass a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. Host families welcome students into their homes making them a part of the family and helping them feel at home in the UK. English is spoken in the home and is an excellent way for students to practice conversational English outside of College, as well as learning about British culture and daily life.
Host family accommodation includes:
- Study bedroom with desk
- Laundry
- Internet access
- Food (Breakfast and evening meals on weekdays. Breakfast, lunch and evening meals at weekends.)
“We have been host parents for three years and it is fulfilling assisting students with their understanding of the English language. We enjoy sharing and learning about different cultures.” Host family parents, New Milton (within walking distance of the station and with easy access to Bournemouth)
