"I have worked
with Fia since 2004 and have always found her to be efficient in her
housing placements, courteous to her students and homestay families, and responsive to any problems that might occur. She is an ideal person to be a homestay coordinator." Ann Carlson, ESL Instructor International Education Center at Diablo Valley College
|
| "They are very
nice and willing to talk with me and welcome me to become part of
the family. They are kind and considerate and if I have questions,
they are willing to answer my questions and help me to understand
things. Their house is large and beautiful. It is great living here." Ching, student from Hong Kong |
"My host family
was perfect! I liked everything about my family, and I felt like I
was in my own home. The food was really good and I enjoyed our dinner
conversations. They are very friendly people and I really enjoyed
my time with them. I hope I can see them again if I ever go back to
Pleasant Hill." Paula, student from Argentina |

| "I love my host mother and
I am happy because I have a new family in America. Before coming to
America, I was worried that I would not adjust to the American culture.
But now I'm not worried because I have an American mother who loves
me and I learned from her about how we can open our minds to others.
My host mother and my mother in Korea sent letters to each other,
so now my parents do not worry about me because they know I am safe.
Coming to America is a blessing to me because of my host mother." Ara, student from Korea |
"My host parents are caring,
concerned, and wonderful. They always ask how my day was, and there
is always a wonderful home-cooked meal every night. We watch TV shows,
sports, and movies together, and we talk about current events and
discuss life in the United States. I am really happy that I chose
to live with a host family. It is an experience that I will always
remember." Juan Pablo, student from Chile |

| "My host mother is kind and
we communicate well. We have gone to a lot of places together. I love
the food she provided. She always asks me what I like and what I don't
like to eat. This home is really clean, and my host mother keeps everything
neat. I am very happy here." Jwo-Shiuan, student from Taiwan |
"They had flowers in my room
and they also put a special clock with the time of my home country.
They are a very nice couple and they also respected my vegetarian
eating habits. They are great hosts!" Kim, student from Germany |

| "I think my host mother is
wonderful and I like her very much. I feel like home here. She is very kind and I feel free to say everything to her. I think living in a homestay is great, and I hardly feel homesick living here. It's just like my home!" Stephanie, student from Indonesia |
"My host family was excellent
- just like my real family. They considered me their son and took
care of me very well. I hope other international student have a great
host family experience, like I did with my host family." Motoyuki, student from Japan |
