    Astrid, Admissions and Enrolments from Estudio Sampere - Dec 16, 2022
  • Regarding your question, they do have contact with their host families. The houses in the neighbourhood are quite big so students might have their room in one floor and the family in another one. On the other hand, students have their meals at the school so maybe that is why this student felt like it was more a hostel than a family.
    Ana Zájara , Student Care Manager from Dec 19, 2022 - Dec 19, 2022
