Campus Lodge
If you would like more independence than living with a host family, International House also offers accommodations on campus.
The Campus Lodge of the university is approximately 15 km north of the school, but is, therefore, near the beach (Trinity Beach). A daily transfer service three times a day, as well as electricity is included in the price. The campus has a swimming pool, a café, a bar and a computer room with free internet access. Students booking these accommodations must be at least 18 years old. Please ask us for prices.
