Homestays
It is highly recommended that students stay in homestays while attending their classes. Homestays provide a unique environment and allow the student to practice the skills they learn in class with their family at home. It also gives students a chance to integrate themselves in the Chilean culture. For these and many other reasons most students studying abroad will stay in homestays.
Homestay accommodations include breakfast and dinner during the week, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the weekend. There are many different types of host families and we will do our best to match each student with the best family for their needs.
