Make a Difference ~ Share Your America!

If you have a spare room and an open heart, you can provide a home away from home for an international student in our community.

If you are interested in being a host family, for any duration of time, then please contact us at international@lowercolumbia.edu.

The experience of an international student can change the course of their life!

If you are a student and would like to apply to stay with a host family, please see our page about housing options for students.

LCC welcomes international students from around the world. Students range in age from 16-30s and come from a variety of backgrounds.

Most come to LCC to earn an associate degree and transfer to a 4-year university. Some students take English classes full-time before starting their degree programs.

LCC host family program during the academic school year is currently unavailable. Prospective and incoming international students are encouraged to consider LCC Campus Housing or identify another off-campus option. LCC’s short-term and special programs remain active for short-term host families. Please visit the Prospective Host Families webpage for details.

No matter what country the student is from, or what program they pursue, the host family experience is an important part of their American experience.
