Information for hosts

We take a lot of trouble over choosing and supporting the people who host our students because we know that your role is vital to the welfare of our students and to their experience of life in the UK or USA.

For many of our students, their time at Kings is their first experience of another culture and often their first experience of living abroad.

We know that for all of them, the experience of studying at Kings and of living in your home is one they will remember all their lives.  

We also know that for many host families, having overseas students to stay with them is like opening a window on the world, a special opportunity to learn about the way of life and customs in other cultures.

If you live within easy travelling distance of one of our colleges and would like to become a host family for Kings, please get in touch with us:

If you’d like to know more, you can contact the Accommodation manager at the college in the city where you live, or request our Guidelines for Host Families.
