New Student Residence In Oaxaca, Mexico

Street in Oaxaca, Mexico
We will soon being adding the student residence option to our accommodations options for our Option One Spanish school in Oaxaca. This is our most popular school in the state capital and we are quite excited to be able to offer students an alternative to the host family arrangements. 

Oaxaca is one of the most culturally rich cities in Mexico due to its indigenous influence. The families are very welcoming and offer a great immersion experience, but we can understand why some students want the added freedom by being away from "home". 

The new residence is less than a 10 minute walk from the school. It is a fully furnished house with a colonial style architecture. The home includes five rooms that can host up to two students in each with private baths as well as two larger rooms that share an adjoining bathroom. As well as a large dining room and living room with TV for easy entertainment. It also will feature a continental breakfast for all students that choose this option. You will also have kitchen access with the needed tools and appliances to prepare your own meals.

Outside the home you will find plenty of common area to rest and relax while taking in the warm Mexican weather. There is wifi throughout so it is easy to connect home for free via Skype as well as the convenience of connecting to the web at any time. You must bring your own computer to gain access to this service. 

Pricing is slightly higher than the host family option, but you can book this option now with private room and bath at an additional cost of $30 per week compared to our currently listed Oaxaca Spanish Program Prices including host family. We are working on getting some photos and will have full details listed shortly. If you are interested in this option, simply state yes next to the residence option on our student registration, and we will confirm availability for the given dates within 2 business dates of registration.
