HOUSING AND ACCOMMODATIONS

Staying With a Host Family

Students will really make the most of their stay by being in direct contact with the local culture; this will be accomplished as they gradually get to know an authentic Spanish way of life.

We have known many of the families for years, and we can assure you that all have extensive experience in providing accommodations for international students. They have been selected according to their level of culture and for the personal attention that they provide to our students. The majority of our families are composed of a father, a mather, and children, although some families consist of simply a mother and her children, as in other cultures. They may also take in Spanish students during the academic year (October to June) and even several international students. We make sure that the number of students is appropriate for the type of housing and that there is a mix of different nationalities. This ensures that all communication will be in Spanish, which, of course, is the official language within the family.

On arrival, the students will be given a key so they can come and go as they please and no independence is lost. The students may also be able to receive telephone calls.
