Housing
Students choose whether to live with a Spanish family or in apartments shared with other students. If you choose the homestay option, you will experience traditional Spanish cooking with daily breakfast and six dinners per week. If you choose an apartment, you may request roommates on the housing application form. Either way, we will guide you through the housing selection process.
