Housing & Meals

CEA CAPA has made arrangements for students to live in , a safe and modern student residence in the Camden neighborhood in central London. The student residence is home to hundreds of students, including other American study abroad students, British students, and international students from around the world. The Stay Club is a wheelchair accessible building located in central London in between two main throughways: Camden High Street and Kentish Town Road. Students can expect to commute about 40 minutes by bus or subway from the residence hall to the CEA CAPA Program Center in Kensington for classes.

At the Stay Club, two students will share a premium studio (double occupancy) room with another ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø student on the London FYE program. If there is an uneven number of students, a student may be assigned to a single room.
 
Each room contains two beds (bunked), a shared desk with 2 chairs, a shared wardrobe (large enough to accommodate 2 people), a kitchenette, and a shared, private bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower. Kitchenettes will be stocked with a microwave, sink, minifridge, freezer, kettle, toaster, stove, and starter kitchenware. Bed sheets and towels are also provided. Rooms include internet access, and there is wireless internet in many of the communal parts of the building.
 
Students will receive a partial meal plan that includes breakfast and dinner Monday-Friday at the student residence hall. Each student will also receive a living stipend from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø intended to cover most food costs (not provided by with the partial meal plan) and a local transportation pass.
 
Students will also be able cook for themselves or with their roommate using their in-room kitchenette. A variety of grocery stores, cafés, and restaurants will also be within walking distance of the residence hall. (Please note that the living stipend is meant to cover most meals if you cook for yourself and public transportation. Students should budget some additional personal funds to cover eating out, taxis, books, laundry, independent travel, etc.)
 

There is also a dedicated ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Program Assistant (typically a student that has just graduated from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø) living in student housing with the students.

Keeping Healthy

Our students’ health is very important. For that reason, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø provides basic international health insurance coverage. If a student should have a medical issue during the semester abroad, the staff at CEA CAPA or the Program Assistant will help facilitate medical referrals or students can contact Off-Campus Study & Exchanges directly for assistance.
