On this page you can get an overview of the different accommodation options available in York.
Most of our students stay with a local family - in 'Homestay' accommodation. The family provides a study bedroom, and treats students as members of the family. Living in a Homestay means that students have even more opportunity to practise speaking English, and experience British life and culture. Homestay providers are carefully chosen to offer a warm welcome and a comfortable stay, and are regularly inspected to ensure they meet our high standards.
Standard Homestay accommodation costs £112 per week and includes:
- Single room
- Breakfast and dinner on weekdays
- All meals at weekends
- Light laundry
- Clean bed-linen and towels changed weekly
- No other student of same mother tongue
- All families inspected by our Student Support Manager
- All families within easy reach of ELC and the city centre
Please note that students normally arrive on Sundays and leave on Saturdays.
We also offer Executive Homestays, which provide everything that a standard Homestay Provider offers but with a private en-suite bathroom. This costs £175 per week.
New for 2010 is our own student residence Cornmill Lodge, within easy walking distance of the school. Please see separate page for details.
We are happy to advise students who would prefer to organise their own accommodation in a hotel, guesthouse or private rented apartment. We would recommend that students who wish to stay in this type of accommodation visit the York Tourist Board website for further information www.visityork.org.
