Will I have to take care of housing and meals myself? And is there any extra fee included?

Yes. With connect 123, I had to pay for housing and all of my meals. I don't believe there is an extra fee included. The housing deposit might be able to go toward the overall housing fee

Since dates are flexible and our program fee is the same for any duration, housing and meal costs are not included. In each destination, we can recommend screened, safe accommodation, in homestays or staying with other participants, according to your budget and preferences.
