Queen's School of English can help with two types of accommodation for students: a room in a Queen’s University residence, or a placement with a local Homestay host/family. Both of these types of accommodation have limited availability, so students should apply early in order to obtain their preferred choice of accommodation.
Many students prefer to arrange their own accommodation. We can help with information about finding accommodation in Kingston.
