HOST welcomes international students in the UK!

HOST is a voluntary organisation, a network of UK residents who welcome adult
international students to their homes for a weekend, or Christmas, visit.

The purpose is to give students an insight into the way of life in Britain. Students
also share their own culture with their hosts.

By helping students far from home to feel welcome in the UK, HOST contributes to
international friendship and goodwill.

International students – now that you are in the UK, would you like to receive an invitation to visit a host for a weekend or Christmas? VISITS ARE FREE. If you need help with the cost of your travel or application fee, please go to Students Home page to see what help is available.

UK residents – could you be ambassadors for Britain, by making students welcome, and briefly sharing your daily life with them? Hosting with HOST is an unpaid voluntary activity, and no long-term commitment is required.
