‘Homestay’ Accommodation Required for International Student

The International Business School is currently looking for accommodation on behalf of international students who are due to start courses in September 2003, and also for student intakes in the future.

Ciara Goode from the International Business School explained that as the Business School does not currently have any residential facilities, they would like to help their international students find local ‘Homestay’ accommodation.

“Our international students are looking for ‘Homestay’ accommodation in a family environment which will help they settle into life on the Island and also enable them to practice their English language skills. This includes a furnished bedroom and use of kitchen and bathroom facilities perhaps with breakfast and/or evening meal also provided. Ideally this would be in the Douglas / Onchan / Braddan area although areas further away on bus routes would also be considered.

Our first international students arrived in 2001, and this year we are expecting students from countries such as Nepal, Indonesia, and China. Safety is an important factor for families that are considering sending their sons and daughters abroad to study and parents are reassured that the Isle of Man is a friendly, welcoming country with a low crime rate.”
