Placement Test Diet and Medical

Sometimes airlines lose or delay your baggage. If your bag does not arrive, your leader/teacher will help you complete a form. You must do this before leaving the airport!

You may be nervous about meeting new people but don't worry! Many of our hosts have welcomed lots and lots of students and they will do their best to make you feel welcome. (Remember contact your parents to say you have arrived!)

You may be sharing a room with another student. Remember, this means you are also sharing the facilities, shelves, drawers etc.

Clothes, including a waterproof coat, shoes you will be happy to walk in for an hour. In the bathroom, toothbrush, toothpaste and haircare products. Your host will provide you with a towel.

You are on full-board so will not have to buy anything. However, almost everyone likes chocolate and we have a café selling drinks, chocolate and snacks, as well as College Hoodies and Mascots.

Tell your host what you like and don’t like to eat. Tell them if there are things which frighten you - e.g. spiders

Find out when your hosts eat their meals. Ask about safety - things like locking doors and windows. Find out if there are extra safety rules if the host has small children

Your host may come with you or they may just give you directions. Be confident and ask people for help, if you need to.

This is really important!! For most of you, we drive on the other side of the road. Be very careful and remember to look right first. If possible, use a pedestrian crossing

We are meeting you at Leeds airport. When we have all the students together and on the bus, we will start the journey to York

The journey to York will take about 60 minutes. It's not a long journey but it is a good idea to use the toilets at the airport as the transfer will not be stopping. Remember to wear your seat belt!

This is our chance to show you some of the highlights which make York one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe! One group will have lessons in the morning and a tour after lunch. The other group will do the tour first, then have lessons.

We will also show you the bus stops, where to change money, the main shopping areas and our meeting points for activities in the City.

From the earliest trains to the world's fastest steam train, from trains built in the UK for China to a bullet train from Japan.
