Accommodation in Tarragona

Two types of accommodation are available:

• Host families (single or shared rooms)
• Student residence (shared rooms)

In both cases, the accommodation is with full board. Students with dietary restrictions or any other special needs are requested to make these known in advance.

Host Families

All host families agree to fulfil the following conditions:

• To provide students with rooms which are comfortably furnished
• To provide basic laundry facilities and to change bed linen and towels weekly
• To make a daily bath or shower available
• To provide students with all meals (which may include a packed lunch on some days)
• To provide students with a door key so that they can let themselves in and out
• To treat students as family guests and generally behave in a friendly and hospitable manner
• To ensure that students are at home at times agreed by the school or by the student's parents

Some of the host families live within walking distance of the school. However, in many cases it will be necessary for the students to take a bus from their family to the school.

A bus pass, which allows four journeys per day, is included in the course fee.

 

Sant Jordi residence

The Sant Jordi student residence is located in the city centre, less than 10 minutes walk from International House. The residence, which provides accommodation throughout the academic year to students from the University of Tarragona, was opened in 1998 and is very well maintained.

Accommodation is available in spacious double or triple rooms with sheets and towels provided. Rooms with private bathrooms are also available for group leaders. The bedrooms are equipped with wardrobes, writing desks and chairs, desk lamps, bookcases and mirrors. Accommodation includes all meals.

Facilities that are available free to students include a TV lounge, a computer room, separate study rooms, and a gymnasium. Washing machines are also available for a small charge. Students are provided with a key to their room and to the front door of the residence so that they can come and go as they please. There is a 24-hour reception service.

Please note that the higher price of the Sant Jordi residence reflects the extra facilities and services it provides.

Curfew policy

The school operates a policy which ensures that all students are back at their accommodation by 23.30, except on Friday and Saturday, when the deadline is extended until 01.30. This policy is strictly enforced both by the host families and the monitor at the residence.
