Spanish Host Family

Host family accommodations are above all, a way for international students to practice their Spanish and immerse themselves completely in Spanish culture.  Living with a host family means not only having a comfortable bed to sleep in and home cooked meals, it also means connecting with people from a background and life that is very different from your own.  Host families offer a support and guidance for you as you adjust to your new surroundings, and can make your stay more enjoyable.  They are there to help you with any problems or challenges that you have while in Spain, and they want for you to have a wonderful time while in their country. 

Estudiafuera´s language schools typically provide host family accommodations with host families where you can choose to have full or partial board.  Full board means three meals per day and partial board usually means breakfast and lunch or dinner.  In some cases there is the option to only take breakfast in the host family.  Students may also choose between accommodations in a single room, or they may share a double room with another international student.  Host families will also do laundry and will provide bed linens and towels to students.

Student Residence

Student residences are quite different from on campus university dormitories.  The student residences inSpain typically house both Spanish and international students who are attending any number of different schools and universities in the general area.  The residences by and large have on site cafeterias, and are open for all three meals.  In the majority of scenarios, the residences, if not luxurious, provide clean, adequate, and comfortable surroundings.  The residences will either have a laundry service or they have coin operated machines where students can do their own laundry.  Common areas including study rooms, and TV rooms, and recreation rooms are the norm.  Sheets are provided, but students should bring their own towels and other linens.
