Homestay accommodation
Homestay accommodation provides students with a home from home. INTO Manchester has a network of carefully selected homestay hosts who welcome international students into their homes. Students live as part of the family, in a single study-bedroom, sharing mealtimes (breakfast and evening meal) and all the other facilities in the home that they need. Homestay accommodation gives students first hand experience of British family life and culture and is an excellent way to develop conversational English.
Superior homestay
This kind of homestay has all the facilities of Standard homestay except it has guaranteed internet access within the house and most specialist diets are catered for. Students have two loads of laundry washed and ironed and their bedroom cleaned each week. Students are expected to keep their room tidy though!
Standard homestay
Students are encouraged to keep their room clean and use the laundry facilities. Internet access is not always available (though it is at college) and specialist diets such as vegetarian, halal, etc. are not always catered for.
Twin homestay
Exactly the same as standard homestay except that the study bedroom is shared by two students. This arrangement is only possible if the students know each other before they book homestay and agree to share a room.
Other accommodation options
Options are available on request.
