Ashbourne has no dedicated accommodation. Parents and/or students must organise the student's accommodation which can be arranged in hostels or with host families in homestays. Some students buy or rent accommodation individually or share with other students.
The College will do its best to support students who need to organise accommodation, for example by providing a list of recommended suppliers and associated information pertinent to each of these suppliers. However, just as students must apply for admission to Ashbourne College so they must apply to one or more of these suppliers separately.
The application for accommodation is separate to the application for admission to our academic programme. The college will liaise closely with students, parents, agents or guardians to ascertain the requirements and needs of any particular student and is happy to suggest suppliers of accommodation accordingly. We have a Welfare Officer with whom students, parents and guardians may liaise in this regard and who will work on students’ behalf to resolve any problems which may arise.
Regardless, Ashbourne aims to ensure that students are as happy and fulfilled off the College premises as on so that students, parents and guardians may rely on us to assist them should any concerns arise about accommodation.
However parents and students must note that they must make the arrangements for accommodation themselves and that Ashbourne is not responsible for making checks on providers of accommodation and does not carry out any inspection of premises used for student accommodation.
Types of Accommodation

There is also the option of staying with a host family where a student can study whilst experiencing life as part of an English family. Some students buy or rent accommodation

Recommended Suppliers of Accommodation
We provide a list of recommended suppliers who have provided accommodation for Ashbourne students over the last five years. Accommodation must be arranged with these suppliers directly by parents or students who must make adequate checks to ensure they are satisfied with the standard of accommodation provided. Ashbourne does not inspect the accommodation providers and does not make any guarantee as to the standard or safety of the premises listed. However we have received no complaints about these providers and feedback has generally been very positive.
