- The school provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience.

The school also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience local culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly.

The school is in a quiet residential area, only a 15 minute walk from the town center, and perfectly situated for enjoying this beautiful, ancient university town. Best known as the home of the University of Cambridge, the second-oldest university in the English speaking world, Cambridge is the one of the world’s most popular student towns. It is a bustling student city with a reputation for academic brilliance and scientific discovery. Young people from all over the world enjoy the student life, around which this town has revolved for centuries.
Cambridge is one of Britain's smaller cities but, it is also one of the fastest growing. Today, Cambridge has a population of well over 100,000 and booming educational and high-tech industries. The city has retained the picturesque charm that has continuously delighted people from all over the world. Between three and four million visitors come to enjoy the city's delights every year. Its narrow streets and historic colleges are famous throughout the world, as are its legions of cyclists and the many long and narrow boats (called “punts”) gliding down the willow-lined River Cam. There are various opportunities to enjoy sports, theatre, cinemas, pubs, and shopping. The blossoming festival culture, with its emphasis on popular music, film, and art, is a sign that there is always something to do in Cambridge. The University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, collectively known as Oxbridge, are the two oldest and most famous universities in Britain. Both were found more than 750 years ago, and between them have produced a large number of Britain’s most prominent scientists, writers, and politicians.
