American holidays

The holidays are a perfect time to host an international student! Our American traditions can be a valuable and exciting learning experience for an international. Also, it provides internationals with a place to stay while the campus is closed and most students leave for home. It becomes very quiet and lonely on the campus during the holidays.

Your commitment to hosting during an American holiday is simple for one weekend stay. There is no long-term commitment to the student(s) and you can choose which holiday you prefer. Also, there is the benefit of getting to know many different internationals from many different countries through hosting during our short-stay American holidays program.

Below are the common short-stay holidays that are available:

Martin Luther King weekend

President's Day weekend

Spring break

Easter weekend

Thanksgiving weekend

Christmas break
