A Richer Uk Experience

Spending the school holidays with a host family can provide a range of new experiences and cultural knowledge which students miss out on if they return home. When the right host family is matched with a student it also creates a bond that can last for years to come, adding an extra dimension to a students time in the UK. At Bright World, our Accommodation Team work really hard to match students with the right host family and it is so rewarding when we hear what a difference we have made.

Life Long Connections

Many students remain in contact with their host family for years to come. Isabel was hosted by Lisa McGowan and her family while studying at Elmhurst Ballet School.

Isabel invited Lisa to the end of year show at Elmhurst last year and introduced her to her parents and sister. Lisa is in regular contact with Isabel’s mother and they meeting up again for Isabel’s final school show at the end of term. They plan to stay in touch as they have all got on so well.

An Easter To Remember

Julie spent three weeks with a host family during the Easter holidays and had an amazing time. During the course of her stay, she really started coming out of her shell. She was initially somewhat scared of dogs but within 2 days of her arrival at the Dunford family, she had grown to love them.

As Julie neared the end of her stay, she mentioned that she had not been to London. Her host family sprang into action and arranged a trip to London to look at art galleries (Julie is a talented artist) as well as the London Eye and dungeons. They had an amazing last day before she returned to school.

A Host Family Can Add Colour To Holiday Times

“ Hey Debbie, I hope you and your family are well. I just want to let you know how grateful I am for your care and kindness during our stay. I feel extremely welcomed by every member of your family and living at your house has added so many colours to my first year of studying abroad. Though we’ll be busy preparing for university next year, hopefully we’ll stay in touch and I wish you all the best..”
