Receiving Mail & Faxes
If we receive mail, faxes or e-mail addressed to a student via students.tlc@lalgroup.com, it will be held at Reception and a note will be put on the Message Board at the bottom of the main stairs to say that the item has arrived.
Sending Mail & Faxes
If you would like to post letters or postcards, you may purchase stamps and send mail at Reception. Reception will send faxes with a charge of 75p for each sheet.
Photocopying
Reception will copy non-copyright material for 10p for each A4 sheet.

Telephone Cards
We recommend that you buy a pre-paid telephone card if you want to call home from payphones or your Host's home. Cards cost £5 or £10 from Reception and allow you to make calls without putting money in a payphone or putting a charge on your Host's bill.
