Welcome to Your Global Family!

All of our programs abroad feature homestays with host families because we believe direct interactions with local people are the best way to understand another culture and point of view.

• Initial summer abroad application

Cultural exchange wouldn't be possible without the generosity and goodwill of host families! We believe that hosting is just as rewarding as studying abroad and we encourage you to give it a try. We would love to match you with a student for a few weeks or a few months.
