Will I be allowed to bring guests into the home?
Students will only be allowed to bring guests (friends or family) to the Homestay with advance permission from the Host Family. In practice many Host Families will be happy for a guest to visit during reasonable hours of the day (i.e. not after 10 O’clock) but they are not obliged to do so.
Similarly, whether to allow a student to have an overnight guest is at the sole discretion of the Host Family. However, please be aware that most Host Families will not feel comfortable for you to do so, especially guests of the opposite gender.
Your Host Family will want to help you feel at home, but please remember that you are staying in a family home, not a hotel, so please respect the Host Family’s rules and if you have friends visiting you will need to be reasonably quiet especially in the evenings.
