It might be a little difficult for a foreign student to live in a total new environment all by himself or herself, and it is not easy
to find a perfect house or apartment either. As a matter of fact, SICAS offers homestay/Au pair arrangement service for
foreign students. The Chinese meaning of Homestay is “Living in a local family”; means foreigners live in typical Chinese
families when they are studying, working or travelling in China. In this way, international students are able to know more
about Chinese culture, custom and life style. Besides, if you come to China to study Mandarin, to know about the real
Chinese Culture, or to do kinds of internship in China, SICAS homestay/Au pair program is the best choice.
All the host families are well-chosen by SICAS thus they all have nice house/apartment and are very kind-hearted. For
SICAS conducts a thoroughinterview and security check, our hosts are particularly excited and welcoming toward foreigners.
Students can have their private room with all the necessary appliances like Internet access, telephone, iron, etc. in a host
family. As a fully integrated family member you will participate in the daily ins and outs of Chinese living including eating
meals together, watching TV, and bargain shopping. Should you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask
your family!They welcome questions from curious students and travelers. Our staff will also be available at all times to
assist you if necessary.
