International Students House, London
International Students House, London (colloquially shortened to ISH said as one word, "ish") is a set of lodgings for 700 British and overseas students in London. It permanently occupies two large buildings in streets one short block south of Regent's Park, one of which, the headquarters, faces Park Crescent which in turn across a square green faces the park itself. It operates as a financially self-supporting registered charity under a board of trustees.Approximately ten students apply for every place. Selection is distinct from that of London's colleges and universities where selection must also be gained. It is on the basis of a student's "demonstrated willingness to participate and become involved in the life of the House." Each year, the House admits Fulbright scholars and students attending places of advanced learning including King's College London, LSE, Imperial College London, UCL, SOAS, London Business School, The Royal Academy of Music, RADA, Goldsmiths, The Architectural Association School of Architecture and BPP Law School, among others. Annually, the House, together with its partners, awards residential scholarships of over £800,000. ISH also has 70,000 non-resident members, which makes up a large proportion of the international students in London.
