3 3 Welcome Ealing Green College Welcome to Ealing, Hammersmith & West London s College The College has been running a successful English Language Summer School for over 27 years. This summer we are offering a great package, including a range of General English classes from elementary to advanced level, Business English, Cambridge exam courses and IELTS preparation classes for students from all over the world. We can also provide you with a London cultural experience and a full social programme. The English Summer School runs at two of our four sites: Ealing and Hammersmith. The minimum age to apply for this course is 16*. *Please note that there may be a small number of under 16 year-olds who are studying as part of a bespoke group. Students who are aged will study with students aged 18+ and will therefore be treated as adults.

4 4 our colleges The English Language Summer School runs at two of our colleges: Hammersmith & Fulham College is our largest campus with over 10,000 students. Situated just outside Barons Court underground station and located near the River Thames, the campus is only 15 minutes away from central London and the cafes, bars and shops in Hammersmith and Kensington. Ealing Green College has a warm, friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy views overlooking Walpole Park. It is situated minutes away from Ealing Broadway and South Ealing Underground stations and has a cosmopolitan mix of restaurants, shops and bars.

7 7 Accommodation Street in Brook Green, London Organising the right accommodation is very important to ensure that students have a happy stay in the UK. The college does not offer an accommodation service but there are several accommodation options available to you: Homestay Hostels and hotels Halls of Residence Private rented accommodation Homestays Homestay accommodation provides students with two choices: breakfast only or half board. Homestays are particularly beneficial if students wish to stay in a home environment and have the opportunity to learn the local culture while practising English. If you would like to book homestay accommodation you will need to contact the homestay provider directly. We have worked many years with London Host Families who are based in the west London area. See londonhostfamilies.com Please note: that all homestays are properly vetted by the agency. Students will not share a room with another guest, but the homestay may well host other guests that are aged 18+.

8 8 Hostels and Hotels The International Office can provide information about hostels and hotels close to the Colleges. Hostels provide accommodation in the form of a shared room with access to a communal bathroom and kitchen. Bear in mind that most hostels only accept students aged 18+. Halls of Residence Student Halls of Residence in London can provide either the privacy of a self-contained room or shared rooms and facilities. Halls of Residence get booked up quickly so applications for accommodation must be made well in advance. Our International Office will be able to assist by providing information about Halls of Residence in the west London area ( 0 ) E F w l c. a c. u k w l c. a c. u k /e fl
