Did you know that between 12K-14K international college students are studying on student visas in Metro Atlanta? For example....

  • GA Tech: 4,973
  • GSU: 1,578
  • Savannah College of Art & Design: 1,392
  • Talk USA Language School-Midtown: 100
  • Mercer University-Atlanta 400+
  • Atlanta English Institute (Chamblee/Altanta)--200+

Many of these students really desire to enter the home of an American family to learn more about our culture! However, the reality is that many of them will never do so during their studies! One of my most requested areas for students to live in is Dunwoody due to its close proximity to MARTA, quality shopping, and safety. We find them homes to live in Metro-Atlanta!

Mark's Homestay (www.markshomestay.com) connects cultures through quality international student homestays. A homestay is a cultural exchange between a local individual or family and a visiting international college student. The student lives as a guest in your home to learn English and experience American culture (Learn more about the benefits of homestay here)

Hosting an international college student is a culturally enriching experience. It can also be a simple experience--2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years....there are many ways to connect with our international student population in Atlanta!
