Housing & Meals
Housing
CIEE Seville offers two housing options to meet the needs of all students who want to comfortably enjoy the city while living in a culturally immersive environment: Either living with families in homestays or with other local and international students in a residence. All housing options have convenient access to public transportation.
Standard Housing: Includes a single room at a homestay or a double room at a residence hall located within a 45-minute commute of the city center. Homestays feature a kitchen, living room, and bathroom shared with a host family. Residence halls have kitchen access, shared laundry facilities, and common spaces.
Select Housing: Includes a single room (shared bathroom and kitchenette with another CIEE participant) in a residence hall located under 30 minutes from CIEE Seville or a single studio (including private bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities) in a residence hall within 45 minutes from CIEE Seville. Commuting time from housing to host institution campuses may vary. Select housing requires an additional fee.
A note: The default criterion to assign housing is first-come, first-served; however, other factors may also be considered. If we cannot accommodate your first housing choice, we'll let you know before you arrive.
Meals
- Homestays: Three meals per day are included.
