Can I visit my host family before I move in to the homestay?
Because students apply for homestays in advance of their arrival (while they are still in their native countries) so that they may have a place to go upon arrival to the US, our students do not normally meet their host families before moving in. Instead, they move in to the homestay upon arrival as USH has matched them with the best host based on their preferences. Therefore, we do not set up appointments for students to meet their hosts before moving in, especially due to the very fact that students are not in the US when they apply. However, should the student be unhappy with their initial assignment, we can help him or her move to another homestay.
