The accommodation service is an essential component of our students stay with us. We carefully select host families. They all meet high quality standards established by national accreditation bodies. As an alternative to staying with a host family, we offer residential accommodation with students from around the world in private flats or hostals.

Before arriving in Bogotá, each student receives a short description of the type of accommodation. If it is a host family it includes details of the various interests of the family members and information about the house and its location. We suggest that students complete all the accommodation arrangements several weeks before arriving.

Host Families

The students have the opportunity to live with Colombian host families, where they can not only practice the Spanish language in a real context but will also have the chance to taste the Colombian culture. Students wil be provide with two meals per day ( breakfast and dinner).

Meal times with the host family are valuable opportunities for students Spanish. Different homestay meal arrangements are available. The School’s standards for student meals are covered in our contract with landlords. The most frequently-requested meal arrangement is Half Board, which means breakfast and dinner at the homestay every day. Some students choose Breakfast Only or. Self-Catering, which means students must purchase and prepare their meals.

Independent Accomodation

SWI can place students where there is no a Colombian family, and students live alone or with other students and share common amenities. This type of self-catering accommodation involves sharing a house and amenities without the landlord living on the premises. Some of the rooms are single but there is the possibility to share a room with a number of other independent students.
