"Summer - December/January - Year
Semester - Trimester- One-Month Programs"

HOUSING AND MEALS:
Students will be housed with Costa Rican families in San Jose. Families provide two meals a day: breakfast, and dinner, and with laundry service. Students will be placed with families close to the university or near good transportation to the university. You can arrive at the family residence the morning of the schedule date of arrival, and you should leave before 7:00 p.m. on the scheduled date of departure. Don't plan to arrive at your family before the listed date, or stay after the listed date. (NO EXCEPTIONS).

All families are screened and evaluated every year by the students and the director of families in our office in Costa Rica. All families go through orientations to inform them about their responsibilities. All students must complete a Housing & Medical form where they list preferences, medical conditions, and special needs. The director of families will make all efforts to accommodate individual needs and preferences, but MLSA cannot guarantee to fulfill them all.
