Travel Advice

General Information

Mail

Even with widespread email usage, students enjoy receiving mail from home. Students can receive mail at the Programme Office and at their residence. The mailing addresses for the residence will be available on arrival. We have found that air mail letters may arrive in four days or may take two weeks.

It can be expensive to receive a package. Often there are customs charges. We highly recommend that parents sending packages to students in Birmingham use the U.S.Mail. We have found that both Federal Express and UPS are less convenient and may charge delivery fees in the UK.
