Homestays

The Connections company offers University of Arizona CESL students the opportunity of a Homestay during their school tenure. A Homestay is for students who prefer the warmth and enjoyment of family life over apartment living. It is also an excellent way to learn the English language and understand American culture. Students live with a Host Family, carefully screened and selected for mutual compatibility, practicality and safety. Friendships often develop as students and Host Family members live and learn together.

Along with the family feeling of a Homestay, students receive breakfast and dinner daily. Students normally have their own bedroom and study area. Airport transfers to your Host Family’s home are provided on your arrival. Transportation to school can be arranged many ways including walking, buses, bicycles, streetcars, and the subway.

Our Area Coordinator will assist you in your Homestay experience. Homestay costs are equivalent to food and lodging in apartments, plus include such amenities as laundry, telephone, and other conveniences found only in a home environment with a family. Homestays are usually special experiences, making good friends and memories for everyone involved. If interested, please complete the application on the back and send it with payment, a picture of yourself, and a letter of introduction for your Host Family to:
