USH constantly seeks high quality and devoted
hosts to add to its family. Since we consider both our hosts
and our students part of The USH Family and since USH offers
only the best service possible to its host and students,
there are some requirements that you must meet to become
a host. These are:
 |
The host MUST live
in the home that the extra bedroom
is available in. That is, we are not solely looking
for "rooms for rent" but for people who have a room
available in the home/apartment that they live in and
would like to host a student in their home
and engage in cultural exchange with the student.
|
|
All bedrooms must be furnished, containing at least:
a bed, study desk, a chest of drawers and/or closet
space and a study lamp.
|
|
USH expects that the host will either be home or
ensure that a trusted friend/neighbor will be present
at the time the student arrives to welcome the student.
|
|
The host must provide the student with a safe and
clean environment.
|
|
When the student arrives, the bedroom should be
ready for their arrival, organized, and clean (including
clean linens).
|
|
The student will be responsible for organizing the
room after they arrive and maintaining it clean. During
the student's stay, the host is responsible for basic
cleaning only , such as vacuuming and washing
the linens.
|
|
The host must give the student a set of keys to
the home during the student's homestay term. Our students
are all pre-screened and we have not had any history
of them not returning keys or causing damage to any
of our homestay homes.
|
Also, please note that USH requires its hosts to offer students private bedrooms .
If you wish to become a host, you must have a private bedroom
available to offer the students. You cannot offer a room
that will be shared with anyone else in your home and lofts
are not acceptable either. The private room must contain
four enclosed walls. Should USH discover that a host is offering
the students a shared room when they have claimed to have
a private room, USH will pay the host the rate reflecting
the shared price only. Shared rooms are only available when
students are specifically traveling together and request
to travel with a friend/suggest their own roommate. USH will
notify its hosts if it is looking for any shared rooms.
