HELPING STUDENTS FEEL RIGHT AT HOME

About Our Matching Service

To begin, all international students fill out a thorough student profile with basic information, such as school location, age and more. Additionally, the student will let us know more about their lifestyle and preferences, which helps us find their ideal host family. This includes information such as pet allergies, dietary restrictions, hobbies, languages spoken, preferred levels of interaction and so much more. 

Similarly, our host families fill out their own profile to let us know if they can provide transportation, if they have pets, how close they live to school and other important details.

Based on the information from both the student and host family profiles, our team will present the student with their new host family option. If both the student and host agree—great news! We've made a match. That family will then begin preparing for their student's arrival and get ready to welcome them to the United States.
