To enhance the cultural and linguistic experience, Harvard students are strongly encouraged to live with local families in Lima.  In the host family home or apartment, students will typically receive room and board, two meals a day, and laundry privileges. A Housing Coordinator is available to make good matches that include opportunities to express preferences (such as smoking/non-smoking, pets/no-pets, children/no-children,etc.). Typically, these are Peruvian families who have experience housing international students.
To be as accurate as possible in choosing the best family match, students are encouraged to fill out the following questionnaire.
