LONDON RESIDENCE – UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON (UCL)
The nationality and age mix at Language Studies International (LSI): London Central (Junior) varies over different time periods, courses and levels.
LSI London Central (Junior) does not hold classes on the holiday dates below. The school does not compensate for these holidays, so make sure to choose your start date accordingly.
LSI London Central is located in the very heart of the city, in the bustling, vibrant area known as the West End. The British Museum, the shops of Oxford Street and the entertainment district of Soho are all within easy walking distance.
The quality of the course provided was disappointing. The English level test was pointless because there were fewer than 10 students in total, and all students under 12 were placed in the same class regardless of their English proficiency. The facility was poor / old fashioned and they were taught in the basement.
The school also lacked a structured teaching approach, with the same topic being discussed for an entire week. I was also shocked that students were left to play computer games during breaks and when class ended early.
Overall, very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this.
Housing was not organised by LSI
The activities were fun with the other students
The Lessons were boring because of too much grammar and too much theory
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in London. These homes are often between 25 - 50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 12 - 17. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.
If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from LSI London Central (Junior). Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.
If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to London based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
