Homestay
The Georgian College International Homestay Program is an exciting opportunity. Students of the program will experience Canadian lifestyle and establish relationships within the community.
The Homestay Program provides safe, caring and interactive hosts for international students to improve their language skills and cultural awareness.
Homestay hosts will provide necessary household items and the student’ s bedroom will be furnished. Most homes are located close to public transport or within walking distance to the campus.
Full Homestay The host provides a variety of nutritional, well-balanced meals( breakfast, lunch, and dinner) every day – including weekends.
Shared Homestay The student buys, prepares, and cleans up after their own meals. That is, the student shares the kitchen with the Homestay hosts. The Homestay hosts will help the student become familiar with the kitchen, explaining use of equipment, where to find grocery stores and cooking supplies.
