To maximize English speaking opportunities, each student is placed with a different homestay family. These families have reliably provided homestays for many years and enjoy opening their homes to international students.
- As part of a real-life American experience, homestay families provide daily breakfast and dinner.
- Each student has the privacy of his or her own bedroom.
- Access to laundry facilities is provided.
- Homestay families provide daily transportation to and from campus.
- Our homestays are provided by a local company (ZIP-USA), which has a long relationship with Utah Tech University. Information and tips about the home stays is available here: https://zip-usa.com/hostfamily/HomestayHandbook.pdf
Many of our students stay in touch with their homestay families long after they return to their home country!
