FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Students are placed 2-4 per room or per family and could be sleeping on bunk beds.

We can provide half board (breakfast and dinner) or full board (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner).

On the first evening, the families will pick up the students from a meeting point and take them home, and vice versa on the last morning. Their local organiser will be there to assist the group. On the other days, students will walk or take public transport.

Please let your local organiser know straight away what the issue is so the problem can be looked into and resolved.

The commute time by coach or public transport is 35-45 minutes.
