Study Abroad in San José: Housing & Meals

The homestay experience can be the most rewarding part of your time abroad. It is the best way to learn Spanish, get involved in the culture and integrate into the local community. Patience, respect and an open mind are essential to success. Living in a homestay situation demands a great amount of flexibility on your part.

You will be housed with a local family located close to campus. All houses are within walking distance of the University. You will have a single bedroom and may share the house with another AIFS student. Breakfast and dinner are provided daily by the family. Lunch can be purchased cheaply at the cafeteria on the University campus. All homes have internet facilities. There is privacy for study. Laundry will be done once a week by the host family.

AIFS always arranges the best accommodation available for students. Changes in housing will be considered only in the event of health and safety issues.
