Housing Conditions

- An American family welcomes an international student into their home as a member of their family.
- Most international students live on the school campus. These dormitories host both international and American students from other cities and states.
- Dormitories for minors have school staff and teachers present 24/7.
- They usually include a small kitchen for students to prepare additional food or drinks.

- This is a common option in the USA, which helps foreign students adapt more quickly to the new culture, lifestyle, and English language.

- Accommodation includes both living and meals. If a student lives on campus, they eat in the school cafeteria. If they live with a host or international family, they eat with the family and can have breakfast and lunch in the school cafeteria.
- It is important to recognize that American families are very diverse in their composition, ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and income levels. The program cannot accommodate placement requests based on any form of discrimination.
