Living in another country
can be fun, exciting – and difficult at times.
We know you need to be comfortable in Britain so you can get
the best from your language studies. We do everything we can
to support you. If you have problems we will listen and help
you find the answers you need.
It's a good idea to think carefully about where you would like
to stay. Homestay means that you are a guest in someone's home
and have the chance to speak English with them. The home may
be a busy place at times and it may not be as comfortable as
your home. You may not have your own bathroom and there may
be no internet connection. If these things are important to
you, a hotel or guest house may be the right choice.
Some planning before you come here can help. Insurance and
banking arragements may need planning. Thinking about what
clothes to bring, and any special foods from home, are important
for most people. You may also like to know that there are churches,
mosques and temples here – please
contact us for details.
Because of international laws, it is not easy to open a bank
account here. It is easier if you open an account with an international
bank like HSBC in your country and ask them to open a British
bank account at HSBC Harrogate before you come here.
