The Department of Liberal Studies offers a
three-week homestay program in the United States for first-year students. Each
year, a group of students participates in the program and stays in the Federal
Way area of Washington State.
The following reports, written by the participants, reflect on their
experiences in the United States. They are dedicated with heartfelt gratitude
to all the host families, teacher guides, and everyone we met during our stay,
in appreciation of their warm hospitality.
