Students should plan to arrive on the day before the program begins. Students arriving later than 10 pm should expect to stay in a hotel. Students are responsible for notifying ILI of their travel arrangements at least one week before their arrival. Because medical care is very costly in the United States, international students must be covered by medical insurance. Arrangements are made for students to stay with area host families.
Host families live within walking distance of the school, or on a bus route.
We cannot guarantee a family for a student who gives us less than 2 months notice. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a family for a student who smokes. There are more housing opportunities for students who decide to rent a car. Arrangements can also be made for students to stay at one of the many comfortable hotels nearby. In some cases, we are able to find rooms to rent with no family contact.
