Accommodations for the four-week period of the Institute will be available for Fellows at International House (approximately $750 for a single, $950 for doubles if available) or in Graduate Towers (rates will be similar to those of I-House, and there may be a few larger apartments to accommodate spouses and children at slightly higher rates). Both are on campus and will contribute to Fellows’ sense of community. Fellows are asked to make their own arrangements, and to mention that they are with the Indian Ocean Summer Institute at Penn. We will be happy to answer any questions we can about typical costs of other nearby accommodations and can put you in touch with local realtors or the University housing office.

echtgenotes, vrouwen

Met 'spouses' bedoelt men volgens mij de 'spouses of the Fellows' waarover hoger sprake is.
Vrouwen/echtgenotes en kinderen kunnen dus logeren in ruimere appartementen, maar blijkbaar dus niet samen met hun 'fellow'.

echtgenoten

according to Merriam Webster, spouses are a man or woman joined in wedlock; a married person; husband, wife.

The term spouse is used to cover either sex (male/female, husband /wife) so the proper translation would be echtgenoten (man/vrouw).
