In
order to make the experience of living abroad
with a host family the best that it can
be
would like to explain
a few of the things that are expected of
you during your stay.
| IMPORTANT |
»
There will be absolutely
no consumption of alcoholic
beverages in the residence of the
host family. |
»
It is prohibited
to have a member of the same or
opposite sex spend the night with
you in the host family’s home. |
Failure to comply with the rules listed
above will result in administrative action
by
and may result
in the termination of your trip. The following
are guidelines to follow in order to maintain
a positive relationship with your host family.
»
If you arrive late it is
important that you are quiet and
do not wake the family. |
»
If you want to invite friends
inside the house, check with your
host family beforehand to get permission.
This is not very common and neither
is “dropping” by someone’s
house it is best to call first. |
»
It’s important to remember
that utilities are very expensive
in Costa Rica and to limit your
use of water and electricity to
local levels. |
»
Respect the family and their
home by calling the family if you
are going to be late for dinner,
letting them know when you have
enjoyed a meal. |
»
Phone calls are relatively
expensive in Costa Rica so if you
are going to be using the phone
in the house use a phone card. You
can purchase these at the CRCC’s
office. |
I have read and have understood the above
rules and guidelines. By signing the following
I acknowledge responsibility for any and
all changes
must make
as a result of my breaking this contract
including but not limited to the termination
of my program without refund.
