Housing Information

Homestays:
Homestays are the norm for Spain, and are encouraged by ISA. ISA participants living in homestays will be provided with three meals per day (except on ISA excursion days) and laundry service once per week for the official duration of the program. This is included in the ISA program cost. Students usually share a bedroom with another ISA student, but have the option of paying extra to secure an individual room.

Residencias:
Residencias, which are basically a cross between a small dorm and a boarding house, are assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis, and availability is limited. Single and double rooms are available. Rent is included in the program price. Meals and laundry service are not included, but students will have kitchen and washing machine access. The residencias have a computer with internet access as well as wireless internet access. They are conveniently located near the ISA office and within walking distance to public transit routes.

Apartments:
Apartments are assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis, and availability is limited. Rent is included in the program price. Students are placed in furnished, centrally located apartments. All apartments are either within walking distance or conveniently located to public transit routes relative to the university. Meals and laundry service are not included.

Independent Housing:
Students may opt to secure housing independently. Students who select this option will receive a discount equal to the housing portion (room, board, and laundry) of the program price. By choosing to opt out of ISA housing, you are solely responsible for researching, reserving, and paying for all fees, deposits, and rent directly to the housing facility that you choose.
