• Program fee includes shared bedroom in a British family home with continental breakfast five days weekly and full kitchen access, cultural activities and museum visits, guided day trips to Oxford and Stonhenge/Salisbury, three theater performances, a soccer match, computer and internet access, unlimited-travel London Transport pass for underground and buses, medical and program fee refund insurance.
