Finding a place to stay is very important when you are preparing to study overseas. At SCE we have a dedicated Accommodation Office which can help you to find accommodation before you leave your home country.
You can choose to stay in one of the following types of accommodation:
Most of our international students select homestay accommodation, where you live in a Scottish household near to College. Living in a local home provides international students with the opportunity to experience Scottish culture in a welcoming and friendly environment. We do our best to ensure that students from the same country are not placed in the same household.
Homestay accommodation gives you an ideal opportunity to practise your English in a safe environment. All our homestay hosts are experienced in having international students staying with them, and will be able to assist you in finding your way around Edinburgh, and to settle in to College and Scottish life. All homestay accommodation is visited by the Accommodation Office and is inspected in accordance with the Accreditation UK inspection criteria. Stevenson College Edinburgh does not have its own halls of residence, however students can apply to stay in halls throughout the city.
The College is located in Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. Stevenson is 4 miles west of the city centre and easily accessible for students. Studying at the College offers students the opportunity to live and study in a virant international city.
My counsellor contacted me every day throughout the application process and helped me receive an unconditional offer. I am so grateful to SI-UK and will never forget them. I will study very hard as I feel this is the best reward I can give the whole team.
