Our
host families: Families belong to Peru´s middle
class, although students should take note that living standards
in Peru are generally lower than in Europe or North America.
Family homes are located in neighborhoods usually no more than
a 10 minute bus ride to school. Participants choosing to stay
with a family should recognize that a certain degree of flexibility
will be required to adjust to the Peruvian customs and way of
life.
Distance to school: One
or two within a 20 minute walk. The rest are a 10-15 minute
bus ride or 5-10 minute taxi ride to school.
Number of students per home:
1 or 2 depending on time of year. Maximum 3. If the student
request to be alone in the homestay, every effort will be made
to arrange that.
Groups of families staying together:
Can accommodate up to three people in private rooms or 6 in
shared rooms within the same family.
Private or shared room:
Private, unless otherwise requested.
Meals included: 3 meals
per day (Note: dinner is a light snack, such as crackers and
coffee).
Private
bath: Some available. The rest have bathrooms shared
by only one or 2 other people.
Extra homestay nights:
Yes, possible. But try to arrive Sunday and depart Saturday
from the host family. Anything outside of this time frame is
considered extra homestay time.
Laundry service: Provided
by host family once a week.
Apartment rental: There
are inexpensive accommodations that give the school special
deals. Not apartments but apart-hotels.
