Accomodation for International Students
Choosing accommodation with Kaplan Financial and Holborn College is slightly different to the process that you would associate with a large campus based university in the UK. Our students do not live on campus, instead they live in a part of the city that they choose and travel to their chosen college each day.
This has several advantages. It gives you more opportunity to experience life in the city where you choose to study. It also means that you get to practice your English more every day as you will interact with more people on a daily basis. Lastly it also means that you are able to choose a location that suits your own interests outside of class, and your budget requirements too.
Accommodation via Kaplan International Colleges (KIC)
We have an accommodation scheme in collaboration with Kaplan International Colleges that all students applying to Kaplan Financial and Holborn College can access. Through this scheme you can choose from a range of accommodation options including single en-suite, single shared flat, and twin rooms.

Accommodation via private providers
We also have a good relationship with some of the biggest private providers of student accommodation in the UK. You can choose from a range of accommodation options including standard, twin and en-suite rooms, and choose from a variety of locations. Room rates vary drastically depending on your chosen study location, and the duration of your booking.
Two companies we particularly recommend are Unite and Nido. Their accommodation options can be viewed at:

Students studying at Holborn College
Holborn College has its own Accommodation Manager who can assist you with your accommodation booking via KIC or a private provider. For help with your booking, advice or support, please contact accommodation@holborncollege.ac.uk.
Once you are at your college
Once our students have arrived at the college many of them choose to change their living arrangements after they have made friends with other students and acquainted themselves with their new surroundings. Every centre has student notice boards where students can advertise for room-mates, and often students will only plan the first few months of their stay before arriving, and then look to move in with some of their new friends.
