Homestay
The Homestay program promotes friendship and cross-cultural communication. Furthermore, living with a
Mexican family is an excellent way for students to improve their Spanish and experience Mexican culture.
Our goal is to place students with families that have similar characteristics. In order to find a family
that best matches the student’s needs, it is important that the student hand in the housing application from
in advance.
Our homestay program is especially enriching because although students are living away from home, they still
have a family to take care of them, to help them an to make sure that they are becoming integrated into the
culture. When living in a Mexican home, students will have their own furnished bedroom and be provided with
three meals daily.
Please note that we have limited number of families available. We place students on a first-come, first-serve
basis. We will inform students once they have been placed with a family. Although we try to assign students to
families who live near the university campus, students will have to commute to and from school using public
transportation or the UDLA transportation service.
