Accommodation

Homestay

All our families are carefully chosen and visited to ensure that high standards are achieved and maintained. Full board accommodation is provided: bed, breakfast, packed lunch on weekdays and an evening meal. All meals are provided at weekends. Sometimes a student of another language is placed in the same family. Many long-term friendships are forged as a result of these visits.

Residential

Some groups prefer to stay in one of our residential centres in or around Norwich. The English Experience uses private schools or the University of East Anglia.

The University of East Anglia
The students stay in single study bedrooms and have all their meals in the restaurant on campus. There is a cooked or continental breakfast, and two-course lunch and dinner with a very varied menu including a vegetarian option. There is a medical centre on site.

Private schools
Here the students stay in small dormitories (2-8 persons per room). Teachers always have a single room. The English Experience resident staff supervise the students at all times to ensure a successful visit. Sporting facilities for the students' use are available on site. A local doctor is linked to the school.

Student Welfare

The English Experience has a full time Welfare Officer, who is always available to assist students who have a problem. There is also a 24-hour emergency phone to make sure that the students can always contact someone. All students are issued with a student card which includes relevant details.
