IIJ needs host families for the summer
The Institute of Intensive English (IIE) at Lewis-Clark State College is looking for host families to house international students for periods of two, eight or 16 weeks during this summer.
A group of 15-20 Japanese pre-medical students arrive in Lewiston on May 1 to study English as a Second Language until Aug. 17. Another group of Japanese students will arrive on July 21 for a short term study tour and leave on Aug. 6. The program is also expecting a summer group of Korean students majoring in Business from LCSC’s sister school, the University of Ulsan, to arrive June 25 and leave Aug, 17.
Host families in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley are needed to house the summer students. Students will pay host families $420 per month. Host families must provide a private room, food for three meals a day, and transportation to and from campus if housing is more than a mile away from campus.
Colleen Knowlton, IIE housing coordinator, says most students generally fix their own breakfast, pack a lunch to eat on campus, and then eat dinner with the family.
“We have home stay families from all walks of life – singles, retired, etc,” Knowlton says. “Hosting an international student provides families with a unique opportunity to experience the world without ever leaving home.”
More information on hosting a student can be found on the web site at http://www.lcsc.edu/admissions/intl/hostfamily.htm or by calling the Institute of Intensive English at 792-2321.
