On Semester in Lima, you have two different housing options at your disposal.
Apartments: You will live in "La Casa de Don Ignacio" group housing with both International and local students in the seaside suburb of Miraflores. This neighborhood is known for its flower-filled parks and for being a cultural hub, offering galleries, cafés, and restaurants in addition to ancient temples. The apartment has shared bedrooms, bathrooms, a dining and living room, a kitchen, and a terrace that all occupants can access. There is free wireless internet access in all of the rooms, and students can use, and socialize in, the TV room and the computer room. Laundry can be done on site for free as long as the students provide their own detergent. Miraflores is a top tourist destination in Lima and will quickly become your new, fun home!
Homestays: If you choose the homestay option, you’ll have a chance to really immerse yourself in Peruvian culture! Students typically say that living with a local family was their favorite part of going abroad. You will be treated as a member of the family, with two meals a day (breakfast and lunch) being provided for you and bed linens, utilities, and laundry services being provided regularly. All the homestay families have been carefully interviewed and visited to ensure they provide a safe, comfortable, secure home that will help you integrate into a new culture.
