AIFS study abroad in Salamanca, Spain One of the best ways to integrate into the local community is to live with Spaniards. AIFS students in Salamanca live in Spanish homes carefully selected by the Director. The homestay experience can be the most rewarding part of a student's time abroad. Patience, respect and an open mind are essential to its success. It is the best way to learn to speak Spanish and get involved in the culture.
Students have three meals a day with their host.
Most rooms are based on double occupancy. Some full-year students choose to rent an apartment locally during their second semester with other students from AIFS or the University. This is an excellent opportunity to become part of the daily life of Salamanca. Full-year students changing housing to an apartment must inform the Resident Director before spring semester begins. A student who wishes to live independently in Salamanca must notify AIFS before the program begins to receive the housing rebate.
