“Having a Visiting Host family allows for an amazing opportunity to have a safety net to learn about Swedish culture, while also being around people who are invested in your growth. I adored my Visiting Host family,” said Queen (Furman University).
“It offered me the best of two worlds – I could continue to live in my housing in the residential community that was comfortable for me, but still be culturally enriched by being involved with a local family,” said Salmaan (University of Illinois at Chicago).
“My Visiting Host family welcomed me with unconditionally open arms and have provided me with feelings of joy, love, and a sense of belonging, even as I was thousands of miles away from home,” said Rara (St. Olaf College).
