"When I arrived in the US, I thought it was going to be an endless adventure in which every day of my life would be a battle to fight against the perpetual feelings of being foreign to everything around you. But, At Home Abroad has proven me wrong. They have been very caring and supportive, and above all, created a family for me during my two year stay. It brought comfort knowing everyday after school I would return to a place where I could call home and to people that loved and supported me without questions. At Home Abroad provided that for me."
Provide the best experience.
"After finding me a perfect host family, At Home Abroad did their best to provide the best experience possible in the US. They understood that international students could have a lot of difficulties with their host families and how the embrace the American community at school. Therefore, they planned monthly meeting with me to make sure that everything with my host family and school was going well. At Home Abroad also understood that education is a significant aspect of studying internationally and kept close relationships with my school in order to ensure I maintained a high academic performance and relate my progress back to my natural parents. More importantly, At Home Abroad genuinely wanted every international student to enjoy their lives in the US. To achieve that, they hosted different activities almost every month for all Chinese students to join, whether it is having dinner at her house or going to the amusement park."

"As a mother of an international student from China, I have worked closely with At Home Abroad over the past two years. In a short time, they were able to create a warm home, sense of community and belonging for my son. I think it is At Home Abroad's demeanor, organizational skills, compassion for the children and strong character that made them so perfect. They continually followed-up with my son to ensure he is adjusting to school and performing well in class. Their genuine care for my son touched me. I am really thankful for what they have done for my son during the past two years. At Home Abroad does not see us strictly as a business, but holds us to a high standard and truly wants the best for us."
