Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living with a host family is an excellent way to practice the language, get to know the area and keep from congregating with other Americans too frequently (which happens way too much). But if I were to go back with this knowledge, I would just get Spanish roomies because I like the independence.

Personal comments
I lived with a family and it was a nice arrangement; the host families the university chooses tend to be warm and receptive.

Course recommendations
This depends on which program to travel with. University of Chicago students all studied the same four courses with no options because it was an immersion program.

Overall
I wish I had known...
