Accommodation

Summer School 2010 students will be housed at Seething Wells, one of Kingston University’s halls of residence.

Each student will have a single study bedroom with private shower and toilet in a suite of rooms with up to five other students sharing a kitchen.You will benefit from:

  • a central location, close to transportation links and the Penrhyn Road campus (where classes take place);
  • internet connection in your room – this means you can bring your laptop so check that it is dual voltage;
  • non-smoking accommodation; and
  • on-site laundry facilities.

We will provide:

  • bed linen (changed weekly);
  • towels (changed twice weekly); and
  • pots, pans, crockery and cutlery so you can cook in the shared kitchen, plus cleaning equipment.

Bedrooms and the kitchen will be cleaned weekly, although you should keep the kitchens and bathrooms clean and tidy on a daily basis.

Shopping and cooking

We do not offer a meal plan, but you will have access to a shared kitchen so you can prepare your own meals. Learning the British way of shopping and cooking are all part of the cultural benefits of studying at Kingston University for a summer session.

There are supermarkets (grocery stores) in Surbiton and Kingston, plus a daily fruit and vegetable market in Kingston. There are also countless places to eat out.

Computer and internet access

You will be able to use the University’s libraries and computing facilities. Wireless internet access is available in the library.

You will have free internet access on campus and in your hall room. This means you can bring your laptop so check that it is dual voltage. You can either buy a new power cable in Kingston or use a plug adaptor to access the electricity supply. You should not use a voltage converter.
