It’s important to remember that your trip to Saint Lucia is for a placement and not a holiday therefore your accommodation is more suited for this kind of longer-term stay. You will find cooking facilities so you can cook and live more affordably and shared communal spaces to spend time with other students. This is your home from home.
Please note: The images featured above are included for the purpose of giving you an example of our accommodation. We are using this accommodation for students this year but it may not be the one you stay in.

The location of your accommodation was an important factor we considered when we chose it. It’s well located so we can pick you up and get you to your placement in the morning, and it’s within a short travelling distance to the local amenities you will likely want to enjoy in your free time. Depending on your accommodation Rodney Bay and the Rodney Bay Marina are a 6-12 min taxi ride away and both offer great local shops, bars and restaurants.
We want you to experience what it’s like to live and work in Saint Lucia and we are confident that the accommodation we have chosen delivers this in a budget that makes it affordable and accessible to a wide demographic of students.
All of our accommodations are in the areas of Rodney Bay, Gros Islet and Cap Estate.

You can expect to stay in a twin bedroom with one other student. This room will have an ensuite bathroom. Kitchen and living spaces will often be shared with students from other rooms.
If you would like to share a room with a particular student of your choice please email us to request this. We will wherever possible endeavour to fulfil your request. If you do not submit a preference to us then we will room you with another student of the same gender. We often ensure students from the same programmes are accommodated together so it is likely you will share with someone from your programme.
It is advised that you bring a towel with you for daily use and also a towel for the beach.
We very occasionally have a limited number of single rooms available on request. These must be requested at least 4 weeks before your trip and come at an additional surcharge.

No, your accommodation is designed for longer-term stays and suits more independent living. There are a couple of differences. Firstly, you will not find any reception or concierge-type services. And, also it’s your responsibility to keep your room and shared living spaces clean and tidy. To support you in doing this, once a week your room will be serviced, and your bed linens will be changed for you as well.
