Homestay Housing Programs for International Students Attending Community Colleges

Homestay Housing Programs for International Students Attending Community Colleges

International students should consider attending community colleges in the United States as these can help with English skills, save them a lot of money, and let them become familiar with the American educational system before they commit fully to a four-year program or institution, according to USNews.com. 

Community colleges are in some of the best “college town” areas, and allow international students a chance to enjoy a homestay experience. This is a far more supportive type of living arrangement that also comes with the benefit of first-hand experiences with American citizens.

The Homestay Option
Why would this be more appealing or beneficial to international students attending community colleges?

Housing - Though some of the best community colleges in areas like Miami, FL and Tempe, AZ are encouraging to international applicants, they may not have student housing for their two-year programs. This means that international students will have to find housing, and most will have to do it from abroad or hurriedly upon arrival in the country.

Transportation, food, and shopping -  There are also issues like transportation and food. Public transportation may also be confusing, and any of these things can make it very challenging for a student to settle happily into their new routine. Shopping for food can also be tough if you have never lived in the U.S., and even if a student has roommates, few will be willing to teach a fellow housemate about shopping, dining, and other aspects of life in their city.

The Appeal of Homestay
In all of these things, the homestay option is an ideal solution. If you chose homestay

* You would be matched to a host or host family eager to support your efforts. 
* You would have your own room that is ready for you upon arrival. 
* You could arrange to eat meals with your host family or have food already on hand. 
* Lastly, with a premium homestay firm you can even find a host willing to provide transportation to campus and back.

While this is fantastic when you are beginning your studies, recognize that it allows you the chance to easily explore the area without all of the other day-to-day struggles. You can still enjoy campus life and make a lot of college friends, but know that you have a home-like setting to return to at the end of the day. 

Your homestay will allow you to use your English and really improve upon it, and you and the host or host family can learn a lot about one another’s cultures. Depending upon your background, the city in which you live may even have a community of people from your homeland. This may allow you to experience what life is like for them, as well, but without missing out on firsthand experience that comes from a homestay

When considering studies in the U.S., don’t overlook the top quality community colleges in cities like Tempe, AZ or Miami, FL, and explore your options for an affordable and utterly enjoyable homestay setting.
