Participants live with carefully selected Mexican families in Cancun. Each student has a single room. All three meals are provided daily by the family: breakfast, lunch, dinner. While living with the family, students are responsible for doing their own laundry, and the family does provide all linens and towels. All the families have hosted foreign students before, and CSA believes it is the best way to enhance students Spanish ability as well as experience the Mexican (Yukatan) way of life.
CSA applicants will receive confirmation of family arrangement before departure. Many placements will be with older, single women. Cost $200 per week. Apartment and Hotel - $150 - $250 per week. Meals not included.
Note: Can arrange own housing if preferred.
