Homestay Program
The main role of the Homestay Family is to provide you with a safe, functional, and comfortable home environment where you feel at ease and encouraged to use your English skills.
Advantages of Homestay:
* The chance to use English all the time
* A greater sense of security for most students
* Exposure to a rich variety of cultural learning opportunities, such as family activities, holiday celebrations, sporting events, etc.
* Deep, lasting friendships with the family

What to expect from the Host Family:
The Homestay Families are people who are interested in meeting and getting to know individuals from other cultures and countries. They are people who understand the need to provide a safe and friendly environment for students, and who understand that for many students this will be the first time from their own families.

The American Host families vary in size, age and ethnic background. Although many of the host families consist of the traditional family (mom, dad and children), it is not uncommon for a host family to be a single parent with children or a single person (young or older).

Within the family unit you will find that most American work outside of the home and have a very busy lifestyle. You will find some differences both personal and cultural between you and the host family; however, with patience and understanding these differences will seem minimal in a short time after your arrival. Remember, you are choosing to study in a new country and to learn about a different way of life - enjoy the differences!

Bedroom
You will have your own bedroom. Each bedroom will be equipped with a desk, bed (linens and towels), and dresser, and will have a window.

Location & Transportation
All host families will provide you with transportation to and from school if their home is not within the walking distance from TSU.
