Taking Spanish classes in Antigua is already a big step in that direction. The kind of accommodation you choose will also determine just how deeply you get immersed. Basically, you have a choice between living with a Guatemalan family and living in a hotel or apartment. Guatemalans are famous for their hospitality and will gladly help you practice your Spanish. Taking part in their daily lives will also give you valuable insights into the culture and customs of the Spanish-speaking world.
Students can generally expect their own private rooms and shared bathrooms with hot water.
Of course we also have double rooms available for couples who want to stay together. Rooms for students are clean and comfortable, but not luxurious. Consequently, having a room close to the center will make it a lot easier for you to get around. If you live with a family in one of the suburbs or outlying villages, you might have to be back home pretty early because there are no busses or the area is not entirely safe to walk around in late at night. For this reason, we offer our students only accommodations located in the historic center of Antigua.
