As an international student, far away from home, I embarked on a journey to learn English and pursue a career. Little did I know that I would find a second family in my host family. They’ve welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home in a foreign land.
I like my new host family very much. Sharon and her husband cares about my well-being and mood. She also made me delicious food I like everyday. She's very nice and I love the vibe in this new host family.
Thank you for sharing Kevin's life with Karin's family. They are really nice people. Yes, They get on very well. Karin drives Kevin to school every day. I am very thankful.
Thank you so much! This host family is the best host family I ever had they’re all nice to me!

This is my second homestay in the United States, and with this new homestay [through SRS], I feel the power of being cared for, making my shy child confident. When I compare them, both of them are approachable, but the difference is that my current one is more meticulous, while my previous one was more casual
My host family has welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home in a foreign land. We share meals, laughter, and stories, creating a bond that feels like family. I’m not just learning English but also about their culture, traditions, and way of life. This cultural exchange has been a great experience, adding more depth to my college life. It’s a journey of learning, growing, and embracing a new family and culture.
It has been so awesome to watch Lena and Sarah explore California and soak it all in. They really do become like part of your family. Hosting is a challenging and rewarding experience. You don't just learn about a new culture, you learn a lot about yourself.

We had a wonderful holiday season with our student Andranik. Teaching him some of our traditions and him sharing with us some of his. It was a very special time for us.
Jorge enjoying the holidays with his international student, Hanabi (studying abroad from Japan).
I went to meet with the teachers for the parent conference day and Julia is an excellent student. They were very proud of her work. She is a very happy child. She has made many friends.
Jeremy has been playing basketball at school and has been doing very well in his games scoring several points and was awarded a freshman award
We had an amazing experience hosting 2 students from Japan! It was great to see them both come out of their shell as they accustomed to life in America and became more confident in their English skills. We enjoyed having family dinner together every night and loved our funny conversations during this time. It was a great time getting to not only teach them about our culture but also learn about their customs and traditions in Japan.
Elisa (international student from Austria) has been doing great in school and is adjusting well. She has enjoyed Mexican, italian and American food. She always seems to have a great attitude. We very much enjoy Elisa!
It’s not just about providing a home away from home for the students, but also about the enriching experience we gain in return. We’re learning about other cultures, traditions, and their perspective on life, which has added a vibrant layer to our golden years. It’s like we’ve become a family away from his family, sharing meals, stories, sightseeing and laughter. This experience has not only broadened our horizons but also filled our home with youthful energy and a sense of purpose. It’s truly a joyous journey of mutual learning and cultural exchange that we wouldn’t trade for anything else.
Students they always enjoy the food, family interaction and social activities that they’re involved with us and family friends. We tried our best to bring them places that they never had in their country. Some students live far from the beach and others want to go to the beach so I bring them if they have enough time. We always include them to family gatherings and they’re happy and enjoy the company of other people.As we also love to see them being happy together. We’ve been hosting since 2013 and as we’ve been doing that long, we are very grateful to have all these students from different countries learning about their cultures as they also learn about the culture here .
This has been a very rewarding experience for us and for Kerem We cook dinner every night together. It feels very much like having our own son here

StudentRoomStay has been a tremendous resource for my students at Orange Lutheran High school throughout the years. It is so important that all of my International students are paired with solid qualified host families during their time in the United States. StudentRoomStay is definitely a company that I would recommend for any new or returning student with any hosting needs

Maranatha High School has been working with StudentRoomStay since October 2023, when StudentRoomStay stepped in and helped to fill a gap for some of our students who needed homestays. Our students had a positive experience in the homestay, which gave us the confidence to outsource our homestay program to StudentRoomStay. We are assured that StudentRoomStay will continue to provide all the support our international students need so that they can excel in all areas while at Maranatha.
This is my first year at Ranney School and it's been wonderful working with StudentRoomStay. I've interacted with numerous individuals on the SRS team and everyone has been extremely professional and thorough, allowing me to feel at ease knowing that our students are supported. I feel confident that I always have multiple people I can reach out to and that whatever issue may come up, it will be handled thoroughly and thoughtfully. SRS has been very proactive about reaching out to provide updates and to schedule regular check-ins, and I very much appreciate this. In particular, I have been in regular contact with Rachel Schwarz and Jason Tumulak, both of whom have worked tirelessly to ensure students, families, and our school have access to the resources we need at any point. Rachel has done a wonderful job of building relationships with students and host parents, and this has gone a long way in allowing everyone to thrive and feel comfortable. It's also certainly helpful that Student Room Stay has an extensive network of host families, so I can feel confident that they will find homes for our students.
