Where we stay

One of the things that concerned us the most was the accommodation. Sometimes it is not easy to find a place for a short stay. However everything was booked in advance for the coordination of the program. 

We were offered to stay at Doris Birdsall Hall of Residence in Easby Road, not very far away from the city center. This accommodation consists of flats of five rooms each with a shared kitchen. Charge per week is £81.41 (£11.63 per night). To give you an idea, we are staying here more or less 30 nights which makes around £360. Some days after our arrival, we received the invoice to make the payment. 

What is included in the price? You will have an individual ensuite room with two beds, normally bunks, wifi and bedlinen. Towels are not included though. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and feed yourself during the stay. Also there is a vacuum cleaner, a washing machine and an ironing set per flat. 

Food is not included, there are some supermarkets in the area and you can also use the canteen in the Trinity Green Building, whose cook turns out to be Spanish!

A week before your arrival the accommodation contact will send you an e-mail with all the information you need. We were also assigned flats and rooms before our arrival, so it turned out that five of us are sharing a flat, three of the girls are sharing another flat and two of the boys are living in a boys-only flat. 

Here you can find more information about the residence and below some pictures. If you need further information, do not doubt to leave us a comment!
