Thank you for your willingness to host international students! 
 
There are a few things we need from you first, and we need to talk about a few things too. Fill out this brief form and we will follow up with you soon to interview you and answer any questions you might have.

This process includes a basic criminal background check, which costs approximately $30, but it does not require any sort of credit check. The most important thing we want in a host is both the desire and the ability to interact in a friendly way with persons from other cultures, especially from backgrounds seen as "hostile" to the United States, and make them feel welcome and appreciated. We keep all information and the content of all interviews and conversations with you confidential, although we would like to share positive things with our fans; we'll ask for your permission first.
