FIE’s student residences are located in some of the most vibrant parts of London, a short walk from Foundation House study center in the heart of historic and charming Kensington. Upscale Kensington boasts world-renowned museums and shopping, as well as easy access to the rest of the city via the Gloucester Road tube station.

All FIE student housing and study facilities are in the city center Zone 1 locality and well-serviced by the 24-hour public transport system. By residing in Zone 1, you can optimize your study abroad experience by easily visiting and familiarizing yourself with all the city has to offer, from museums to clubs and cafes. FIE is ideally situated for ease of study, travel, and visiting cultural and historic places.

Student residential buildings in the Kensington area are mid to late 19th century converted townhouses. Housing is co-ed arranged in both apartment and floor styles. Most students will live in double, triple, and quad occupancy single gender, fully furnished bedrooms. Bathrooms are co-ed shared by residents of the assigned flats or floor. Common kitchens are equipped with cookware, silverware, and dishes. Students have access to app-operated laundry facilities. All residences feature common living areas where students can interact.

Students will be notified within 30-days of the program start date and given details of their housing placements.

RESIDENCE LIFE SUPERVISORS 

Residence Life Supervisors, or RLS, are available at all FIE residences and can assist you with any residence life questions or concerns outside of Foundation House Office Hours. Unlike many US universities, FIE RLS are not undergraduate students. We are proud to have an elite team pursuing postgraduate study or employed in the education sector in London. The RLS help to foster an environment conducive for learning.
