Rented Student Houses and Flats
The International Centre can provide information about local houses and flats available to rent.

Host Families
We place all students who are under 18 with reliable, friendly host families, ensuring that they are comfortable and secure. Living with a host family is a good way to learn about British culture and settle into life at Wakefield College happily.

Students pay £110 per week and for this they receive a study bedroom, breakfast and evening meals during the week and all meals at weekends. Heating and laundry are included. This represents excellent value for students.

Host families - feedback
They welcome students into their homes, treat them as part of the family, introduce them to the way of life in England and support them in their studies, many even attending information evenings for parents in college.

Our recent survey about their experiences in hosting international students showed that:

• 100% of the host families agreed that the International Centre Staff are always on hand to support the families and respond quickly to questions and problems.
• 100% were pleased with the information provided about “their student” before arrival so that they could prepare and welcome them.
• 90% have enjoyed finding out about the culture of another country.
• 90% have enjoyed the experience so much they would recommend friends to become hosts.
