Host Family Program

Helping new International Students with transportation and/or a short stay (1-3 nights) with a welcoming American family. It’s ideal for students waiting for their dorms to open or their apartments to be ready.

Let us know your needs
I plan to arrive a few days before the new student orientation. I would like TRANSPORTATION and a HOME-STAY with an American family for 1-3 days.
