At BOSS, bedrooms are assigned with great care to ensure comfort and community. Rooms are allocated according to gender, age, and nationality, although on some occasions it may be necessary to adjust age groups.
We encourage students, wherever possible, to share with someone who does not speak their language, as this helps them settle in quickly, practise English naturally, and make new friends – an important part of the BOSS experience.
Accommodation is offered in single, twin, triple, and quad rooms, all furnished with beds, desks, chairs, wardrobes, and drawers. Bedding is provided (students should bring their own towels), and rooms are cleaned daily. Each house has WiFi, and while room type cannot be guaranteed, specific room requests may be made for an additional fee.
