The family will treat you as a family member and you will be expected to obey house rules. All families provide a private or shared room (depending on location) with access to all living areas in the house and two meals. In most cases; students will be expected to share the bathroom. Your host family will always do their best to engage you in daily conversation while making you feel as though you are in a “home away from home”. Remember that your host family will have different customs and habits than perhaps you are not accustomed to, and meals will be prepared according to local custom. Please note that not all host families are within walking distance to the school. Some are within 30 minutes traveling time from the school. For more information about host family rules, please see the accommodation section.
