Host Family Program

What is the purpose of the Host Family Program?

To give you the opportunity of interacting within a new culture through daily activities at a Mexican home. To respect and learn about a different way of living and helping you to learn more about your own culture, which is the main purpose of your exchange program.

You will feel encouraged to practice your Spanish with your Host Family, feeling confident in speaking as much as possible. It is incredible how much vocabulary you can learn in a day!

“The host family program that Tec de Monterrey has is an incredible program. The host families are warm and eager to welcome students into their home. This affordable, comfortable way to live is highly recommendable, not only for its cost benefits, but it’s the perfect way to be completely submerged in the Mexican culture. You will learn cultural norms, while getting to really understand the way of life in Mexico and how it differs from that of home. You will be encouraged to speak Spanish daily, which will improve your speaking skills tremendously. Get a taste of home cooked Mexican food, live life like the locals, and make lifelong friendships and connections that in no other way could you find in Mazatlan”.
