Study Abroad Opportuntity in Alcoy

SAOA Housing

SAOA offers the housing options listed below in Alcoy. Every attempt will be made to match each student's preferences with our housing options; however, housing preferences cannot be guaranteed as roommate and housing assignments are based upon availability, date of confirmation, and other factors. We encourage you to apply early as it will assist us in organizing your housing arrangements.

• Apartment
  SAOA students have the opportunity to choose to live in a shared apartment with other students.  Students will be assigned an individual room in an apartment shared with other students studying at the University of Alcoy.  The majority of the apartments are located in the city center.  All of the apartments are close to the University of Alcoy, in a walkable distance.  No meals or laundry service are included with this housing option, though students will have access to a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine.  Students are responsible for meals and phone usage, so additional funds should be allocated for these expenses.  Apartments do not have phones for incoming or outgoing calls.

• Homestay
  This housing option offers you the opportunity to live with a Spanish family and experience true daily life on the Mediterranean. If you are outgoing, independent and not afraid to take the language plunge, then living in a homestay could be your opportunity to immerse yourself into the Spanish culture and language. The majorities of homestays are located in the city center and are in a walkable distance from the university. Each homestay has been carefully chosen to ensure the best possible living arrangements for each student. Homestays may consist of a single seņora (with or without children) or a traditional two-parent household. In addition, one student is housed with each family and will have a single room. Students are provided three meals per day and laundry service once a week. All families are welcoming and generous with their home, but participants should remember that they are guests and will be expected to adapt to the traditions and rules of their host family.
