With homestay, students have choices – be as independent as you like, or become a member of the family you live with.

All-Inclusive

CHN fees are less expensive than most on-campus options and include a private, furnished room, meal plans, and amenities like laundry and WiFi.

Flexible

Stay durations can be by the week, semester, or full academic year. CHN strives to ensure homestays are no more than 30 to 45 minutes public-transit travel time from colleges and universities. Special COVID-19 refund policy for peace-of-mind.

Safe

CHN hosts are carefully screened through our comprehensive due diligence process, which involves interviews, reference checks and criminal record checks.
