One of the most important parts of the school's cultural and learning experience is the homestay with a local family. In the Juan XXIII neighborhood there are many families that host students. You can choose among families of various generations, families with many children, or with only one or two members. You can request a single room, a double room, or you and a companion can stay in separate rooms with the same family. Homestay accommodations can be provided for whole families.
You will be the only guest, and will get to know the joys, the pains, the fiestas, the customs, traditions, yearnings and longings of a middle class Bolivian family living on the outskirts of the city. These families have strong ties with the mines and in many cases with the countryside, too.

Practice what you have learned in class by talking with members of the family. You will share three meals a day with them - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - as well as fruits and drinks. Full meals are provided every day of the week. If you would prefer to live in a hotel, tell us ahead of time what type of hotel you would like to live in so we can make reservations.
