DOWNTOWN EXE. FURNISHED APT


HOMESTAY



Homestay

  • The most rewarding programme in terms of learning and practicing a new language
  • Experience North American home-made cooking and family life
  • Have a single room with 3 meals provided daily in an English or French speaking home
This programme is suitable for a first-time traveler who has never experienced North American culture and would like to know more about the lifestyle of the Canadian people. It is not an easy programme but greatly rewarding for those who can overcome the differences. Don't expect a private bath, air conditioning, pool, wall-to-wall carpeting, chauffeuring, laundry service, large rooms, or breakfast in bed. A typical "home" may have 2-3 bedrooms, one bathroom for the whole family, a living and dining room, and kitchen. Most visitors find lodging adequate but not luxurious.

To be successful and to benefit from a homestay programme will depend on the effort from the students. As each home/family is different, each student undergoes a different homestay experience. Usually, the friendly, flexible, easy going, enthusiastic students tend to create a friendly, positive atmosphere. Making yourself familiar with the foreign customs and adapting yourself to their lifestyle and culture will help bridge the cultural gap between you and your hosts.

It is not reasonable to expect your hosts to change their lifestyle or their daily routine during your visit.
