Homestays and Rooms to Rent: image of a cozy home

One of the popular housing arrangements is through homestay. The minimum stay with a host family is 3 months. Host families can be single people with a room to rent, families with young children, children your age, or grown children. Some families have two parents, some have only one. Regardless of the kind of family that houses you, this is a wonderful way to learn more about the American lifestyle, improve your English, and be part of a family! Host families live within busing, biking or walking distance from the college.

If you would like to be matched with a host family, please contact International Student Placements to learn about the application procedures and to download an application. From the home page, click on "Students", then on " Southern California ". Scroll down to find the application form.
