Host Families
The Importance of Host Families
Visiting a new place that is in a culture very different from your own is difficult to navigate. By connecting participants with local families, usually in the form of our "Dinner in an American Home" event, ISP participants get to meet and experience American life in a way that truly connects them to KU, Lawrence, and the United States. For host families, it is an opportunity to meet, befriend, and enjoy the company of people from around the world without leaving home.
