Los Angeles is the most populous city in the U.S. state of California and the second-most populous in the United States. Los Angeles is served by three public universities located within the city limits: California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA), California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The 2013 Open Doors report ranks UCLA third among public universities, and six overall among U.S. universities, in hosting international students.
Students from all over the world come to study at the best universities in LA. For international students hoping to further their education in the Unites States, the challenges and obstacles can be great. That’s where USH comes in, making the experience of finding great host families and matching them with terrific students seamless and simplified.
Hosting a student is a rewarding and memorable experience. Homestays may include a single host, couple, large or small families. A homestay with an American host family gives international students the chance to interact with the local culture and people.
