Housing

WhatsApp%20Image%202024-11-20%20at%2013.47.46 All CASA-Chile students will live with a host family. To facilitate the homestay-matching process, students complete a homestay questionnaire in Spanish, with information regarding hobbies, interests, level of fluency in Spanish, religion, experience with international travel, dietary restrictions, appropriate medical information (i.e. allergies, physical disabilities, etc) and a space to describe themselves and to include preferences for a homestay. If a homestay does not work out, the housing coordinator will work closely with the student and CASA staff to ensure placement with another family.
