What is the difference between a homestay and shared student apartment?
Students often ask about the main differences between a homestay and a shared student apartment. These two types of housing usually fit two different needs and expectations of students. Students who stay in a homestay often want to live with a family and see the local customs and culture of the country played out on a daily basis, including through the option of daily meals. Students who stay in a shared student apartment usually want to live with other young people and are looking for a greater level of independence. Both experiences, however, allow you to practice your Spanish skills on a regular basis and see local culture played out in home life. Please check our housing comparison chart for more information.
