St George Extra Costs

Almost everything on the St George course is included in the fees. However, there may be a few additional costs for which you should plan.

Spending Money
We recommend that you bring around £70 (100 EUR) per week spending money. This can be used for emergencies, buying souvenirs, and extra activities such as going to the cinema with friends.

Transport
Your homestay accommodation will be as close to the school as possible, but if
you do need transport to get to school or just wish to get around Cambridge, there is a choice available:

Bicycles
This is the favourite and most traditional way for getting around Cambridge, which has many cycle lanes to separate bikes from car traffic. We recommend that you only hire bicycles (approximately £15 per week) if you are a competent cyclist and confident about cycling on English roads.

If requested, we can help you to hire a bicycle during the first week of your stay. We will also show you how to cycle in safety on English roads.

Buses
An alternative to the bike is for you to buy a city bus pass (approximately £11.00 per week) which is called a 'megarider'. You can buy this on the bus by asking the driver. Studio staff will also make sure that you know which bus you will need to take to get you to and from the course centre.


Extra cost activities

The St George
activity programme is included in your course fees and you don't have to pay for anything extra. However, on occasions students ask us to arrange different activities (such as golf, horse riding or Theatre) at extra cost.

Not arriving or leaving on a Sunday?
Airport transfers from the main London airports (Heathrow, Stansted & Gatwick) are included in your fees as long as you arrive and depart on a Sunday. Arrival or departure on any day other than a Sunday will mean you will have to pay extra costs for the transfer. Please contact us for details.

Not arriving at or leaving from one of London's main airports?
If you are not flying into, or leaving from, London Heathrow, London Stansted or London Gatwick, an additional charge will be made. Please contact us for details.
