Host Families

Host families are families who welcome visitors, exchange students, or temporary residents into their homes, providing them with a supportive living environment. They offer cultural exchange and daily life experiences, helping guests feel comfortable and integrated into local customs. In return, hosts often receive compensation or academic credit. This arrangement benefits both parties: guests gain authentic cultural insights, and families enjoy meaningful cross-cultural connections. Host families typically offer a private room, meals, and guidance, creating a home-away-from-home experience that fosters understanding and personal growth.
