Housing

Prior to your program, Arcos will gather important housing information from you needed for your placement. During your program, your Arcos onsite director will address any questions you may have regarding your housing.

The types of housing options available with Arcos:

Families with Apartment-Style Living Options

For students looking for some form of independence we recommend placing you with one of our homestays that has apartment-style living options (some type of separate living area, such as an attached apartment). This is the best of both worlds, you have a more independent living situation, while also getting meals and laundry provided by the homestay.

Homestay

Always our preferred housing option and what makes the program unique and effective. Many of our students maintain lasting friendships with their homestay long after the program ends.

Housing & Meals:

You will have all of your meals with your family and they will provide a sack lunch on weekend excursions.
Our host families are considered middle-class by local standards and live in very safe neighborhoods.
Our host families live conveniently within 15 minutes walking distance to school.
It is not common practice in Oaxaca that laundry is done by the host family and there are laundromats conveniently near all the homes.
