Accommodation
Our partner school personally takes care of selecting host families to welcome its students. Located about 20-30 minutes from the school, you will have your own room with a bathroom and share the common rooms of the house with the family members. You will have breakfast and a hot evening meal provided for you daily. This option allows you to discover the Mexican way of life and to get to know the country’s warm and open inhabitants while practising your Spanish daily in a motivating atmosphere.
Shared apartments
Located about 15-20 minutes from the school, these 2 or 3-bedroomed apartments are available for students. You will have a single room and share the kitchen, TV lounge and amenities with other international students. It is up to you to organise your meals: why not try out some new Mexican recipes with your flatmates?
