Accommodations

We cannot emphasise it enough: accommodation is very important. No two students are alike, which makes it very difficult for us to give general advice. Do you want to experience home stay, student flat during your stay? Of course you can do this as well. Take your time and make a sensible decision. If you want to discuss your accommodation with us, then please do not hesitate to contact the Enrollment Center. We always provide objective information and personal advice.

Host Family

It is good to know that most of the host families have worked with us since the beginning. The families know from experience what the role of a host is. Accommodation in a host family allows you to get the maximum out of your course. Nowhere else will you so directly experience real Spanish life. Nothing could be better to help improve your language skills. The word "family'" should not be taken too literally, because your family could also be just a single parent who takes in students because he or she enjoys the company. You wouldn't be the first to go out together, or to keep in contact with the family after your return home.

Student Flat

You share a student flat with four or five other students. We always do our best to accommodate you in a student flat with different nationalities. However, the common language typically becomes English. We suggest that you should reach an agreement with one another to speak as much Spanish as possible.

The student flats are not very luxurious but they have all the basic facilities (a bed, table, chair and a wardrobe). Each student flat has a living room with TV, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine and iron. In student flats there are no telephones available. You can make your phone calls from one of the many phone boxes. You share the kitchen and the bathroom and, together, keep the house clean. Shared areas are cleaned once a week.

Apartment/house: at the request of the student and according to availability.
