Will I be able to have a shower every day?
Although you will be able to have a shower every day, in most cases you will have access to a shared bathroom, and it is important to remember that you will not be the only one using it. For this reason, you should not spend too long in the bathroom especially in the morning which is usually busier. As a guide, 15 minutes is usually considered a reasonable amount of time to spend in the shower.
Whether you have a shared bathroom or in some cases a private one, you should leave the condition of the bathroom as you found it, for example, do not leave wet and dirty towels lying around or personal washing on the wash basin. Although it is the responsibility of the Host Family to clean the shared bathroom, please try and help by not leaving your belongings there and any unnecessary mess.
In the UK it is normal practice to have the hot water on a timer at certain times of the day and therefore it may not be available 24 hours a day. Some Host Families might present you with a bathroom schedule upon arrival, especially if there are several people using it during busier times.
