ACCOMMODATIONS:
While in the field, students will live in a modest, but comfortable field house. All participants will be expected to help keep the living spaces orderly and assist with daily tasks that may include the preparation of meals and other activities necessary to have a successful field program.

When students are in the city of Arequipa (the first week and every weekend), students will live in La Casa de Mi Abuela, a popular local hotel in Arequipa close to the main plaza. Students will stay in double rooms with private bathrooms, each with hot water. Internet is available at all times in the hotel.

UCLA Summer Sessions reserves the right to change the housing location. Should this become necessary, the project director will arrange comparable accommodations elsewhere.
