Accommodation with families in La Rioja
Living with a host family gives the student the opportunity to continue learning Spanish, while at the same time enjoying and getting a first-hand experience of the Spanish culture.
The families are carefully selected by the University of La Rioja Foundation and are experienced in hosting international students. During the stay, they will help students with any formalities they may need to carry out on their arrival in Logroño.
The cost of accommodation is €700/month plus a €50 administration fee.
Accommodation features
- The accommodation agreement between families and students will be for one month. After that first month, students and families can agree (or not) to continue living together for as long as they wish.
- If the student wishes to stop living with the family, he/she must inform the UR Foundation and the family 10 days before the end of the stay.
All flats/houses have a single room or a room shared with another student (according to the preferences indicated on the form), with a bed, wardrobe, desk, chair and Wi-Fi internet connection. The bathroom is usually shared with the rest of the family members. Sheets, blankets, towels and one laundry a week are also included. Students must bring their personal belongings. - Accommodation will be on a full board basis (breakfast, lunch and dinner). It is very important that students tell their families if they have any allergies, need medical treatment or are intolerant to certain foods.
- The student will agree to:
- Follow the house rules
- Respect family schedules and habits
- Always give advance notice in case you are not going to have lunch, are planning to go out or travel.
- The student must inform the family of the exact date and time of arrival in Logroño at least 5 days in advance. The family will pick you up at the agreed meeting point.
- The University of La Rioja will send confirmation of the booking and the family's contact details approximately 10 days before the start of the stay.
- Payment will be made by the student directly to the host family during the first 5 days of their stay. If the student does not give 10 days' notice of his/her decision to leave the family, it will be understood that he/she continues to live with them and will have to pay the next month's rent in full.
- The full amount of the stay will be paid regardless of the number of days not stayed overnight due to travel or other reasons.
