Spain is a privileged country peppered with historic landmarks, natural spaces, entertainment venues, festivals and cafes. Students are encouraged to explore their host city and the rest of Spain.

Housing & meals

Students live at Residencia Universitaria de San Agustin or Residencia Universitaria Camino de Santiago, depending on availability. Residencia de San Agusti­n is located near EDE and downtown Burgos. Residencia Camino de Santiago is located near the University of Burgos. Both residences consist of a study area, lounges, recreational areas, student cafeteria and bedrooms. Most bedrooms are double-occupancy and shared with Spanish and international students. A meal plan (3 meals per day) at the residence cafeteria is included with the program fee.

Homestay in Burgos may be arranged based on interest and availability. Living with a host family is a great way to become better acquainted with Spanish customs and practice your Spanish language. Students are expected to communicate with their family in Spanish, although most have at least one member who speaks a little English. Families are carefully screened by the KEI Onsite Directors. Some families offer partial meals, while others do not.

Getting around town

Burgos is a walkable city and easy to navigate. Buses are the primary mode of public transportation around town. Taxis are available throughout both cities. A taxi can be hailed on the street and at taxi stands, or reserved by phone.
