The University of Houston-Downtown works with Classic American Homestays to provide host family opportunities to international students. Students choosing a homestay may live with an American family which has been screened and evaluated by Classic American Homestays.
Students have a private bedroom and a private or shared bathroom and all of the necessary linens.
A continental breakfast is provided daily. A classic American dinner is also provided each day. Students are given the opportunity to become a family member and participate in some of the family's activities. It is a good opportunity to improve conversational and listening skills. Bed and Breakfast Homestays are also available in the homes of American families.
