Housing

During the semester in Santiago, students live in a Chilean home. The homestay allows students to experience the warmth and hospitality of Chile while making significant gains in Spanish language ability. Once students have completed AU Abroad on-line pre-departure forms, an on-site Housing Coordinator matches the student to the family to ensure the most suitable living arrangements.

Meals

Students learn first-hand about the culture of Chile while enjoying two meals a day with their host families. They also have ample time to go out and explore the culture and cuisine of Chile.

Schedule

The Chile: Climate Change and Sustainable Development Enclave takes place every Fall semester.

Fall 2008

Dates TBA

* The "Arrival" date is the day on which you need to arrive at your site, NOT the date you leave the U.S. The program starts on the "Arrival" date and this is the day on which program-sponsored housing begins. If you arrive before this date, you are responsible for your own housing. Do not expect to move into program-sponsored housing early.

** The "Departure" date is the official end of the program. All program-related activities will end the night prior to this date (in some cases you may have a farewell dinner, etc.) On the "Departure" day you must leave your housing. Do not expect to stay in program-sponsored housing after the "Departure" date.

Please note: Program Dates are subject to change.
