Just as the curriculum is specially designed to maximize your experience in Seville, so, too, living in a Spanish home is an integral and equally important aspect of your intercultural experience.

Students are placed in carefully screened Spanish homes, usually in pairs.

In the Spanish home, you will have breakfast and mid-day meals Monday through Friday and evening meals Sunday through Thursday. In most accommodations, the señora will do your laundry, including ironing, for an additional $40 per month.

Under no circumstances will students be allowed to live independently in their own apartments or in any other housing situation that is not approved by and under the direct supervision of the staff at the Spanish-American Institute.

Naturally, adjustments with regard to customs, food, and heat must be anticipated.
