Homestays
Living with a Mexican family substantially enriches the language and cultural experience. It is surely your best choice if you would like to enjoy a total immersion in the Spanish language and Mexican culture. We can guarantee that all accommodations are with middle to upper class Mexican families, personally known to us.
All homes are clean and comfortable. We try to place each student with a family that matches his or her interests and age. Families serve as excellent hosts in the town and provide a comfortable and safe environment in which to assimilate to another country. Many students make lifelong friends with their host families in San Miguel.
Prices for housing with a Mexican family, including 3 meals daily, are:
$40 US per day for single occupancy
$35 US per day, per person in double occupancy
You are expected to pay your balance for your homestay to the family upon your arrival.
Families accept travellers' cheques, US dollars, and pesos.
student's comments
".... highlight of the week has been staying in the home of a Mexican family. That has given us lots of opportunities to maim and mangle Spanish - and eat new foods."
"... we were a little nervous about living in someone else's home ... but the family has made us part of their own."
