Homestay

Living with an American family can be a great way to start your life in the USA. As with any choice, there are advantages and disadvantages to consider.

Advantages:

• You don't feel so alone in a new place
• You can experience American culture in daily life
• Living with Americans is a great way to improve your English skills
• Meals are included
• You have a connection to the local area from your first day
• Someone can meet you at the airport

Things to think about…

• You will need to respect your family's time and space; you are not free to come and go as you please
• You may not get along with your family
• There may be children or pets in your family
• The house may not be close to school
