Host Family: (private room) 2 meals (breakfast & lunch)

Living with a local host family is the most effective way to become fully immersed in the language and culture. All families are carefully selected and visited regularly to ensure quality standards. We choose only quality families who have a genuine interest in international exchange. Many families live near the school and the commute is usually no more than 10 - 20 minutes. All bed linens and pillows will be provided, however we suggest you bring your own towels. If your family does not provide a laundry service, they may allow you to use the laundry facilities for a small additional charge.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

"I had an unforgettable experience in South America!

The exposure and immersion I had in the culture was life changing. I would recommend it to anybody who is really looking to make lifelong memories and to have your perspective on life completely changed. Not to mention, I know another language now!

I was really happy with all of my host families. They were really friendly people and would recommend all of them for future students. My roommates were all good too. Have no complaints at all. The locations of the houses were appropriate as well".
