 Our Chinese learning program is unique. It offers homestays for accommodation, and this is the only type of accommodation in our program. Staying with a local family is definitely the best way to practice language and have close contact with the Chinese culture. As a fully integrated family member you will eat, watch TV, shop, and experience daily life with local people. Meanwhile, you won't have to give up your privacy as you will have your own space -- a private bedroom and bathroom (we can only guarantee the private bedroom).
 Each of our host families has been interviewed by our staff and a security check is completed before a family is accepted. The hosts are excited about hosting foreign guests, because in the past, due to government restriction, they weren't able to open their home to foreigners. In addition to our on-site staff, the host families will also assist you and provide all the necessary information and first-hand help needed during your stay.
 Each family has all the convenient living facilities you would find in a Western home, including TV, DVD player, computer with DSL, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, air-conditioning and western toilets with 24-hour hot water. Your room will be fully furnished with a bed, desk, wardrobe (or closet) and air-conditioning. Most families are located in nice communities, where a swimming pool, tennis courts and a supermarket are available.
Families near the campus have convenient public transportation between the university and their home, which usually takes no more than 30 minutes by bus or train.
