[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only thought is don't stay with a family. Live in a dorm and look after your own independence. [/quote]

+1  I've heard experiences from a number of people who did homestays and the experiences seem to vary widely -- it could become your 2nd family or they might never talk to you and just grudgingly provide the bare minimum. Better to be in a dorm IMO[/quote]

This. I’ve done two home stays. One I was in high school and the family was ok but not great. The second one the family seemed to begrudge our presence. The other American and I living in the house moved out after a month into a group house with a couple of other students (who luckily were native to that country) and that was so much better.

You definitely should not assume that because your daughter is living with an adult in a home stay that that adult will provide any emotional support or help. That’s pretty unlikely. It’s more likely to be a “rent a room” situation.[/quote]
