The residence fee for new students for 2010 is $17,360 for the 35 weeks of the academic year excluding the mid-year break and mid-semester breaks. All meals and utilities are covered within your tuition fee. If you choose to remain at International House during the mid-year holidays you will be charged at the vacation rate. The fees includes the Easter and September holidays. Students living at International House will be charged for the 35 weeks even if they decide to leave early. The residential fee provides students with three meals, seven days a week including sandwich making facilities and late meals for those who are not able to return to the college during meal times. All utilities are covered within your fee, as well as maintenance of the IT facilities and 500 MB of internet download for each student per week. In support of ongoing academic success we also provide a vast number of tutorials per semester for all first year students. The college has engaged sixteen tutors to assist students with their studies and to provide extra pastoral care. Additional non-residential tutors are employed to tutor in subjects that cannot be covered in-house. This aspect of college life is most important, particularly given that the demands of university study are often very different from that of secondary school, and strengthens the academic success of our students.
