  • This home had ridiculous rules and I was not informed about them before I arrived. For instance, when I arrived, I was told that I had to provide for everything - my own towel, soap, etc. However, I am literally in the middle of nowhere and there is not even a Pulperia (convenient store) nearby. Why was I not informed about this beforehand? Then, everyday there was a new rule that the host mom added. First, I asked her what I could use in the kitchen; she said I had to buy all my own items because. I could not touch any of their belongings and they would not touch mine. I could not even use their paper towels! Second, I could not take anything out of the house that wasn't mine, so I bought tupperware and utensils to take to school. Third, I was not allowed to use the counter to prepare food, only the area where you dry dishes next to the sink which was ridiculously small. I could also not eat in my room. Lastly, I had informed the host mom one week prior about the day that I would be leaving. The day before I was supposed to leave, she arrived at 5pm and told me I needed to be out of the house no later than 7am the next day. I told her that would be impossible because I could not carry my belongings all the way to the University the next day. She said the moment I left the house I could not come back; therefore, I packed all my stuff in 2 hours and left that same night (thankfully the new housing arrangement let me arrive one day early).
