ACCOMMODATION DETAILS

Options will be presented to the students. These types of accommodation may be free or at a low cost, students will be able to pay with their wages. If students do not approve the accommodation they may request another type as a hotel, but that will be charged and the payment of the accommodation is the student‘s responsibility.

Types of accommodation:

Family House: Participants taking Portuguese classes may be placed with local families. Families can offer a private room and bathroom but this is not a rule; the candidate can share the room and bathroom with another family member.

Hall of Residence: it is very common to share a house with other students in cities where you have Universities. There are few opportunities for private rooms.

Hostels: in big cities the hostels are located downtown.

The most common type of accommodation chosen by the students is hostfamily, which is cheaper or even for free

sometimes. The family may or may not offer food. What usually happens is the students have breakfast and dinner at home and lunch at work, which is included, and they won’t have to pay for it.

The student can live in the same house during their program period; they might have to move when their stay is longer than 6 months.
