International Students - Location
John Leggott College lies in the county of North Lincolnshire on the east coast of England. This part of the UK has a relatively mild climate with average temperatures of approximately 5°c in January and 25°c in July.
The college is in the town of Scunthorpe which is an attractive, varied and interesting place in which to live and study. Because the town is small it is relatively safe with a low cost of living.
