LILA* Liverpool

Homestay Accommodation

Students can stay in Homestay with either half board or full board. The students stay with local families in Liverpool who are experienced and welcoming hosts. Staying in Homestay, students can experience British food and learn more about British culture. It’s also a great opportunity for students to improve their English outside of the classroom. Students are made to feel like part of the family and often have meals and spend time together. Our host families live in the suburbs of Liverpool around 20-45 minutes by public transport.

Residence Accommodation

We have three options of self-catering Residence;

-Shared bathroom, En-suite bathroom or Private apartment

All of our Residences are based in the city centre and are around 15 minutes’ walk on average from LILA*. The Shared Bathroom and En-suite Bathroom options are single rooms, and have a shared kitchen/communal area for the students to share with other students. The Residences are for both LILA* and non-LILA* students, so staying in a Residence you get to meet lots of new people. The Private apartment is a single room with en-suite bathroom and contains a kitchenette in the room.

Residences are perfect for students who are looking for a more independent living experience.
