The flag parade at a Women’s Basketball game – honoring international students and their hosts.

The Davidson College International Host Family Program is currently looking for a handful more local families and individuals that live within 20 minutes of Davidson College to serve as host families for our incoming international students.

Students live on campus (*not with hosts*) and engage with their host families through occasionally sharing meals, attending events, exploring the local area, etc.

Host Family’s Responsibilities

• Communicate with your student on a regular basis
• Plan an activity with your student whenever it is convenient
• Invite your student into your home
• Learn about your student’s culture and country
• Be a friend to your student
• Participate in host family events whenever possible
• Notify International Student Engagement if you are unable to continue in the program

Please note that host families are not financially responsible for their student, and host families are not expected to provide support beyond the comfort level of their personal/family circumstances.

If you’d be interested in connecting with a student from a different part of the globe, more info and the application can be found on our Host Family Program website: davidson.edu/host-family-program.
