Food and lodging are provided upon request by Costa Rican families who are selected based on an on-site visit and personal interviews of the family members. The home stay represents middle class Costa Rican housing and is within walking or easy commuting distance of Intensa.
Your host family's role is to meet your immediate needs in a caring and supportive way as you adapt to your new environment. Moreover, the home stay provides the student an ideal situation in which to practice Spanish and experience the Costa Rican way of life.

Homestays include:
 Airport pick-up and return
 Private room
 Laundry service
 Two meals: a good breakfast and a main meal. |
PLEASE NOTE:
-
Homestays start on the weekend prior to the first date for lessons.
-
Students with homestay will be picked up at the airport for immediate transfer to their host family.
- INTENSA makes a real, reasonable effort to group students according to their oral proficiency level. It sometimes happens, however, that a student's level does not correspond to any of the existing levels, in which case the student will be given three hours of private lessons instead of four in a group at no extra cost, until another student is found at the same level.

ALTERNATE LODGING
While we encourage students to take advantage of the homestay for the cultural experience, some of our students prefer or find it necessary to stay in a hotel or apartment for the time they are here in Costa Rica. In which case, Intensa can supply a list of nearby, reasonably priced hotels upon request. Our personnel will be glad to help making reservations and obtaining a student discount rate whenever possible.
Students who choose alternate lodging should deduct $125 per week from the fees shown and are responsible for arranging their own transfer to and from the airport. |
