The College welfare team devote much of their time to the care of overseas students who have recently arrived in London and are still finding their feet. It might mean helping a student to register with a doctor (overseas students are entitled to health care under the national health service), or finding an ethnic restaurant or a place of worship. Also, there will be occasions when a student needs official documents, in order to extend a student visa for example, or open a bank account. If this is the case the welfare team will be happy to help.
All in all it is the continuous aim of the College to make its students feel at home, and to provide the pastoral and administrative support that will allow them to concentrate happily on their prime objective - to obtain a good education in London and an internationally recognised qualification to prove it.

Recreational Facilities
London has everything that a young person could desire. In addition to the history and culture that make the city so unique, it also has the finest stores (possibly the best, Selfridges), the latest fashions, the most vibrant music scene, and the best sporting events to be found anywhere on the planet. It is simply impossible to run out of things to do.

And to make sure that our new students make the best of the leisure opportunities available to them we provide them with membership of International Students House, a social centre that specialises in providing social and leisure facilities for young people who are new to London.

The facilities for International Students are excellent, a social calendar, is published monthly and displayed on the College notice boards, ensures that CLC students always have somewhere to go in their leisure time that is safe and welcoming. Among the most popular activities are team games such as football or cricket, dance classes, aerobics (there's a well equipped gymnasium), kung fu, cinema, and religious groups. There is also a travel club which arranges visit to places of interest all over the UK and, for the more adventurous, mainland Europe.

There's even a box at the Royal Albert Hall, where world class performers can be seen for a fraction of the normal cost.
