Accommodation
Home Stay Accommodation
All accommodation offered at Tamworth and Lichfield College is with host families. These families are visited and thoroughly checked by Tamworth and Lichfield College for their suitability. The advantage of this is that you will be integrated with the local community and get the opportunity to practice your English.
A variety of accommodation is available:
- Fully catered (bed, breakfast, evening meal and lunch provided when not attending college) - £95 per week
- Half Board (bed, breakfast and evening meal) - £85 per week
- Bed & Breakfast - £75 per week
- Self catered - £65 per week
All bedrooms have a minimum of a single bed and storage for clothes. A desk will be available for studying. Bed linen and towels are provided and changed weekly. The fully catered option is ideal if you do not like catering for yourself as you are provided with breakfast and evening meal seven days a week. No meals are provided if you select the self catering option. However, you are able to use the kitchen facilities to prepare your own meals. In both instances you will have access to the family’s laundry facilities.
When you arrive you will need to pay one month’s rent in advance plus a £100 deposit. The deposit will be returned to you when you vacate your room, provided there is no damage/breakages. If you wish to leave your host family, for whatever reason, you are expected to give at least two weeks notice to the College.
