host an exchange student

I haven’t hosted an exchange student yet, but my husband and I signed up for the community host program at the local university, and we were assigned an international student from China to be nice to. We took her out to dinner and invited her to family gatherings, gave her a place to stay over breaks, and took her to the airport to go home for the summer. This was a great experience, and we have made a new friend. I definitely recommend participating in this kind of program if it’s available in your area.
