If you have a spare room and an open heart, you can provide a home away from home for an international student in our community.
The host family experience is an important part of the student’s U.S. experience. It is an equally rewarding experience for the host family.
“As someone who has been a host family and an international student, I can attest that it can be an equally rewarding, and at times life-changing, experience for the student and the family.”
-Andie Ingram, LCC Director of International Programs
