[quote=Anonymous]These are trade offs that only you can make. In our first year hosting, we emphasized driving and had one who got her license within 3 months of arriving. It was helpful, but not critical, and she also only worked 20 hours a week. Mostly she got the license so she could use the car to get to her class or meet up with her friends. Our 2nd one came to us right at the beginning of covid and she was a homebody, which worked out for us b/c we didn't want her to be out and about during the pandemic. Now we're on our 3rd ap and we realize we could live without a driver. The most important thing to us is compatibility as housemates. That's harder to find than a decent driver, in my opinion. Having gone through the search and match process recently, I'd say the picking is pretty slim for a good in country ap. In your shoes I'd extend with her, but with the understanding that she'd work some weekend hours just so you get a break. [/quote]
