Lock In Your Off-Campus Housing
RoomStay is simply a way for college students to find secure student housing—in a safe home or apartment, near their school—for a great price. StudentRoomStay has multiple properties in Santa Barbara, CA and connections with student housing properties across the USA.
Additionally, many of our trusted host families have an extra room to spare that they'd like to rent out to a local college student. Unlike homestay, the host takes a more hands-off approach and will not be closely involved with the student's life. Students will have more independence and a room to call their own.

This is my first time coming to America. I feel very wonderful. My homestay family is friendly. They will take me to play every week. The school has many activities After class, I always participate in conversations with students. It has improved my vision of the world. This is my great life.
Can't believe I improved my English so much in five months! Here is just like my family. I love my life in America!
I've been living with my host family for almost two years, they love me so much. My host mom is kindly and she took great care of me as her son. She also cares about my grades, she usually helps me doing my homework, fixes my writing. I really appreciated that she helped me so much.
