Homestay Concept
Homestay is a living
arrangement with a host family
who offers an extra private guestroom or space
for an international student for a
nominal
charge in comparison with other
expensive types of temporary or long
term accommodations. A hosting family offers the
the student or guest a home away from home.
Homestay is
most commonly used by foreign exchange
students and scholars when living away from
home. Today, a homestay offers
continues to offer moderately priced
accommodation to extended stay
guests, including relocating and migrating
individuals,
athletes, and young workers with working

culture, as well
