Host Family

Single, Breakfast + Lunch from $398 with course

Staying with a host family is without doubt one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country. They may not speak your language but that's all part of the learning experience - and fun! All host families are carefully selected and usually located within walking distance, or a short bus ride, of the school; in larger capital cities, distances to the school can be further. The term ‘host family’ does not always mean a couple with children. Sometimes you may find that hosts are single people whose children have grown up and left home. Most hosts can cater for special dietary requirements, bed linen is provided, and laundry service and towels are sometimes included. A key is given to the outside door so you can come and go as you please. If for any reason you do not wish to eat at home you just need to notify your host in advance. It's great to experience the different cultural aspects of living with a family or host, such as different food and meal times, but please respect these too. We also suggest that you take some pictures of your family, friends and home as these can act as useful props for discussion.

Supplementary nights - $31 pp per night

Residencia Moral de la Magdalena

A student residence can vary in size depending on location and availability. In some cases a residence is spread over one or more floors of a large building, accommodating students of all ages and nationalities, and in others it's more of a traditional, house-type environment. Residences are usually located in the city centre and are within walking distance, or a short bus ride, of the school. You stay in a single room, or double room if travelling with a friend, and receive meals as stated if offered in your location (bed & breakfast, half board or full board). The kitchen, bathroom and living areas are shared with other students, but in selected locations you may have your own bathroom. We recommend this type of accommodation if you're looking for independence whilst staying in a truly international environment.
