You will practice English with a conversation partner at least once a week. In addition, you will get to know university students who are working as counselors in the program. They will accompany you on field trips, lead evening activities, and live with you in the dorm. If you attend one of the summer programs, you will be staying in a university residence hall and eating at university dining facilities. The residence halls at OSU have comfortable, fully furnished double rooms.
Halls have television and recreation rooms, study areas, computer labs, kitchenettes, and lounges.
You will also participate in a weekend homestay. If you attend the winter or spring program, you will live with an American family. Homestay families are carefully selected for their hospitality and cultural understanding. Meals are provided by the host family. Corvallis, a university-oriented city of about 50,000, offers you a safe and friendly environment in which to learn about life in the United States.
