Housing (neuro)
Students typically will live in a residence hall with local students within walking distance of the Neuroscience Institute (INCyL) and the city center.
These students will be housed in singles with their own bathroom, and a shared kitchen for two students. The residence hall will provide sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. A weekly load of laundry is included in the program.
The residence hall includes a social room, a gym, study spaces and laundry facilities.
A dining hall is located across the street for students who want to buy meal tickets. Also there are grocery stores, cafes and restaurants located close by.
Students with an advanced level of Spanish and who have completed 5 semesters of Spanish or the equivalent have the option to live with a host family like the immersion program students.
In a host family, students are housed in a single room. Host families typically live slightly further away from the Neuroscience Institute.
