Opening the doors of your home to an international student is much more than offering a place to live: it is sharing your culture, your customs, and your daily life with a student who arrives with the hope of learning and growing.
Host families play a fundamental role, providing a warm and welcoming environment, and in return discover new perspectives and traditions from other parts of the world. It is an opportunity for the whole family to enrich their daily life, practice languages, and create bonds that often last forever.
