For college students, pricing varies based on location of study, the meal package you select (if any), and any add-on services.

Hosts will provide anywhere from 0-3 meals per day. Adding every meal package will increase the cost of your homestay payments, but you will likely be saving money on food in the long-run. Check out the meal packages available for college students below:

Yes, we have a service fee. Just like any other housing or rental website, StudentRoomStay takes a small percentage of homestay payments—this keeps our company running! This allows us to provide the support, technology and operations you need for a secure, enjoyable, CSIET-approved homestay experience. The vast majority of every homestay payment is sent to your host family, providing the resources they need to take great care of you in their household.

If you require any non-negotiable extra services for homestay, these may be added as an add-service. Our team will always work with you and make sure you understand the exact cost of your homestay package ahead of time, so that you are never hit with unexpected fees. For example, during the host family matching process, if you absolutely will not live with pets or children, this might require an additional fee (because it may take longer to find a host family for you).
