daleyboy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 That made you look. What i am actually looking for is a housemate. Basically the wife and i are moving into a new house in a few weeks, and we will have a couple of spare rooms. We are looking to let one of these rooms out to a overseas student. My friend does this, but he doesn't know of any organisations, whenever he has let his room out it has been by word of mouth, friend of a friend sort of thing. So does anyone know of any organisations based in the U.K that i can get in touch with? I want a female student because with a young baby in the house i wouldn't be comfortable with a male that i didn't know very well. Added to the fact it would be good comapny for the missus while i am out working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevf Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Try your local college or university thats running English language courses for overseas students, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I've occasionally seen adverts in the Chester papers at the start of the academic year for people willing to take in foreign students, so thats possibly another option.

Yeah i thought about this and is something i will look into. I think new terms start in October. The trouble with advertising is i will get people from all over the world, when really i am only looking for Thai, mainly to keep the wife company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i am not doing it for free My friend currently charges for a double room including all bills £300 or 21k baht a month, which for Bristol is a good price. He says that the students he has had stay with him have all been sponsored and their accomodation paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try contacting some of the foreign language schools in your local area, as they would have students coming over all year long. Try and get hold of one that does long term study's. Here in Australia, a lot of them only have short term, (1 month at the longest) courses. The ones that are organised here through the colleges, pay the money direct to you, so you not have any problem with having to collect the rent from the students.

dekka007 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) I thought the whole idea was oversea students get to stay free in return for taking care kids and helping around the house. Surely housing an overseas student is to "Help Out" not to profit? I could be wrong but I thought thats how it works. Especially if she is cute Maybe you should advertise just for a female to rent a room rather than specifying a student. Bearing in mind that they can usually rent a studio thai style room near their uni for 3000 baht owned by the uni.
