3 Reasons Homestays Are a Fantastic Housing Option

If you’re planning to study in the U.S., you might have already discovered that many housing options can be quite pricey and include having to share a small space with one or more roommates. If you haven’t given homestays some thought, here are three reasons why they’re a fantastic housing option:

  1. In a homestay, you’ll live in a house with an American family, and it’s very likely that you’ll have more space than in an apartment or dorm.
  2. Your host family will help you get acquainted with the local people and culture. It’s a great way to assimilate into the American way of life. Plus, you’ll have a support system when you need it.
  3. All host family homes are inspected for safety before your stay.

Interested? Let StudentRoomStay match you with the perfect host family! Learn more about homestays and get started below.
