Lodging during a study abroad program in Alicante
Homestay in Alicante, Spain
Living with a Spanish host family while studying Spanish is the best way to acquire a profound understanding of Spanish culture and traditions, as well as to help you become completely immersed in the Spanish lifestyle.
The host families in Alicante have been carefully chosen in order to ensure that the student’s stay be as pleasant as possible. We will always try to accomodate our students within 20-30 minutes from the school by walking or public transportation. You may choose between a single or double room as well as half board (breakfast & dinner) or full board (breakfast, lunch & dinner).
The school in Alicante has accumulated a number of suggestions over the years to make your home stay as pleasant as possible.
Homestay manners:
- Respect the timetable that the family has set for meals.
- Try to keep the host family informed if and when you plan to travel or go on an excursion (in that case the family can prepare some food for your trip). You should also let them know in advance if you do not plan on having ameal at home on any given day.
- You should always ask for permission before using the telephone.
- Ask the family when would be a good time to receive phone calls.
- Ask for permission to bring home friends.

- Keep your room tidy, be careful with borrowed items and leave them in the way you found them.
Switch off the lights when you leave a room. - Remember that if you have booked half board, il includes two meals: breakfast and dinner. If you have booked full board it includes three meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
