The English Way of Life

When participants arrive in England, they are met by representatives of SEHC, who will bring you to Camberley. In the SEHC centre at Camberley Baptist Church participants are normally met by their host families who take them to their homes in which they will stay for the duration of the course.

The addresses of host families, and further information regarding the stay in England, e.g. the course programme – are sent out around 2 to 3 weeks before the start of the course, directly from England. 

Please remember that when preparing for your stay in England that many things will be different from what you are used to in your home country. Typical differences you will notice include food, lifestyle, types of houses and the living standards of the English. 

If you compare England to other parts of Northern Europe, the living conditions and living standards are not so high. People live comfortably, but perhaps a little more simply than the neighbouring countries. The English food is not as bad as you think, and it is unlikely that it will rain every day and even less likely that you will see typical English fog during your course! If you have worries about English beef, do not worry – the English do not eat beef daily, and if you tell us in advance we will advise your host family of your wishes. We are sure that the success of your course will not depend on these differences. 

Take England and the English just as they are, and you will be sure to have a lot of fun and enjoyment discovering the “English way of Life” and that the English are a very nice and friendly people to get to know.
