IMPORTANT NOTE: Students who reserve a host family in either campus and then cancel their stay with less than 2 weeks notice will be subject to a penalty fee of $50. This applies both to 'no-shows', and to students who decide to stay at one campus instead of moving to the other campus as initially planned. For example: if you book 2 weeks in Heredia followed by 1 week in Sámara, but during your time in Heredia decide to stay there and cancel your stay in Sámara, you will be charged the $50 homestay-cancellation penalty.

Please state any preferences you might have regarding your homestay (children, pets, smoking, vegetarian food, etc) and any relevant physical concerns we should be aware of.  In addition, in order to help us match to a homestay suitable for you, of the following five characteristics, please list the two which are most important to you: 


· Cleanliness and standard of accomodations

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

IMPORTANT:

Students who request airport pick-up must wait for their families at the airport exit point. If you cannot find your family, please use the emergency contact numbers you have to call the family and/or the school. Do not take a taxi or leave the airport until you have spoken to a school representative or the family. The school will not reimburse students who leave the airport without waiting for their family or contacting us first. You can make a collect (reverse charge) call by dialling 110, or you can ask the taxi drivers to change a small bill into local money in order to use a payphone. Alternately, we suggest renting a cel phone before you leave home, at www.costaricacellularconnection.com or a similar company.
