Students who are already in Spain or who arrange for their own transportation will meet the group at the Madrid airport at the scheduled arrival time of the group flight. A comprehensive orientation session will immediately follow arrival in Segovia. The session will include extensive information about Spanish family life, public transportation, health and safety, and the student's obligations and responsibilities to the KIIS program. Housing All students will live with Spanish families in Segovia. Normally, no more than two students will be placed with each family.
All families live in or near the city center, within walking distance of the classroom building.
All meals are taken with the host family, who will also provide towels, bed linens, and laundry facilities. Host families will attempt to accommodate special diets, but cannot guarantee that all requests will be met. Excursions Segovia's location makes it ideal for excursions to other cities and sites of cultural interest in Old and New Castile. Cheap and frequent bus and train service to Madrid makes it easy for students to visit the museums and monuments of Madrid. Excursions are tentatively planned to Toledo, Salamanca, Avila, El Escorial, and Valle de los Ca dos.
