If you are an international student who wants to get the most out of your experience here in America, please consider a homestay through USA Homestays. We want to place you in a good home for a year at a time so you can fully experience the best of American culture. 
There are many benefits of a homestay with us: a private bedroom in a good home, all utilities paid, meals, constant opportunities to interact with English speakers. Our homestay is more than just a home away from home.
