GEN: Summer study in England??

[Bonnie Fulmer <GBF1@MARISTB.MARIST.EDU>]

Dear Netters,
     I'm a former high school English teacher, currently a high
school librarian, who would love to spend a summer in England,
but can't afford a 2-month vacation.
     Do you know of any summer-study programs in England, preferably
in London, that might make this dream feasible?  My ideal would
be to sign up for a class (in Dickens?  Romantic Literature?
Shakespeare?) at an institution that provides room and possibly
board.  If classes were in the morning, I could have afternoons,
evenings, and weekends free to explore London and the countryside.
     I fully expect to pay airfare, tuition, room and board, but
wonder if this is a feasible way to realise my dream.  Do such
programs exist?  I know there are teacher-exchange programs, but
do not think these are a possibility for me.  I am limited to
the months of July and August.  If there are no summer programs
available, do English universities rent out dorm rooms for the
summer, like some American universities do?  I simply cannot afford
a London hotel for two months!
     Thanks for any information you can share.
