Almost everything on Studio English language and activity courses 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 £80 (125 Euros) per week spending money. This can be used for emergencies, buying souvenirs, and extra activities such as going to the cinema with friends.

Transport
On the first day of your course (Monday), your warden or host will help you get to the course centre. Our residential accommodation is within easy walking distance from school. Homestay accommodation is at different locations in the city.

Whether you need transport to get to school or just want to find it easier to get around Cambridge, there is a choice of transport:

Bicycles This is the favourite and 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 on the first Monday of your stay.

Buses
An alternative to the bicycle would be to use the local bus services. You can buy a 'Citi' bus pass (approximately £11 per week), which is called a 'Megarider'. These can be bought on the buses by asking the driver directly. Studio staff will also be able to help you choose the correct bus, which will take you to the course centre each day.

Extra cost activities
The St Michael 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) at extra cost.

There are also several discos for under 17's each week, organised by local Cambridge clubs. Entrance is usually between £2.00 and £3.00.

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.
