Homestay—living with a British family or optional university housing

Each student will live with a British family in Canterbury residing within walking distance from the campus. In the home, the student will have a private room and breakfast will be provided each morning. Students are responsible for all other meals. CCCU has an excellent cafeteria and snack bars. There are variety of food establishments and stores in town.  The homestay will also provide one load of laundry per week. CCCU matches students and homestay families with similar interests and lets the relationship develop on its own from there. For most students, the homestay experience is the beginning of a life-long friendship and provides unique insights into the British way of life.

University Housing

You may choose to stay in one of the university housing options at a slightly different fee.  You would be responsible for all your meals and laundry.

Academic Excellence
