    My time at don Quijote has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the Spanish language and culture. It has been an enriching experience which I will never forget and I would love to return in the future.

    I had plenty of opportunities to contribute to group discussions and I was growing in confidence in my ability to speak Spanish. Learning a language in the country in which it is spoken is the most effective way to learn and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested!

Options

  • Home Stay

    Staying with a host family in Salamanca will give you an opportunity to truly experience life in a Spanish family. Our families are carefully selected and most of them have worked with don Quijote since the very beginning. They know how important it is to be good hosts and to make our students feel at home from the very beginning.

    Students will receive keys and will have the liberty to come and go as they please. They can also receive calls during their stay.

    Choose from various meal regimes during your stay with a host family: breakfast only, half board (breakfast + lunch or dinner) or full board (three meals a day).

  • Shared Student Apartment

    Student apartments are basic but are basic but fully furnished and equipped with all the necessary amenities including cooking utensils, linens, an ironing board, washing machine, etc. Rooms are generally furnished with a bed, nightstand, lamp, desk, chair and wardrobe while the living room has a television for common use.

    Student apartments accommodate up to six students from a variety of nationalities and cultures. Together, students are responsible for the upkeep and cleaning of the kitchen, living room and other common areas. Students are responsible for purchasing and preparing their own meals.

  • Student Residences

    Student residences are located in the city center and offer individual, shared or triple rooms with half or full board meal options. There are different types of student residences depending on preferences and availability.

    A university residence hall offers students the possibility to live with Spaniards who are also living and studying in the city as students. They are usually university run and are large in size. Student residences are smaller residences which may be very similar to living in large shared apartments with the main difference being that students will not be responsible for preparing their own food. These residences are open to students from all over the world, not necessarily studying at don Quiojte.

  • Private Apartment

    We understand that some of our students may want to maintain a certain level of privacy and standard of living while they study Spanish abroad. With this need in mind, we offer the possibility of renting a full apartment during your stay.

    We offer two types of private centrally located apartments in various sizes: standard or premium.

    A standard private apartment is a basic student apartment which a student can fully rent out as a private apartment. A premium apartment offers higher-end furnishings and amenities than those offered in standard apartments. Our premium private apartments also include Internet/WiFi access and a weekly cleaning service.
