Study Abroad F.A.Q.: Homestay

What are the benefits of staying in a homestay?

Homestay can be a great part of the immersion experience. The thing to think
about is what would make the situation the most comfortable for you. You might
want to be with another student, you might want to be on your own. You might
want children in the household, or maybe teens, or maybe not. If you give some
thought to what you think would work best for you, you can request that we try
to match your interests and concerns. Let us know any special concerns as to
allergies, pets, special diets, etc. Although we can’t guarantee that we will
be able to, we will certainly do our best to fulfill your homestay
requirements. The earlier you apply, the better chance you have of the school
being able to meet your homestay requests.

material in the host country, many travelers want to bring along several books
and magazines, plus local guide books (maybe a couple, depending on how many
destinations you have planned for your travels) and phrasebooks too.
