Host
Program
The
Host Program was implemented in 2007. The purpose of the program
is to enrich the experiences of international students at
Oberlin College and to provide a deeper understanding of international
peoples and cultures in the broader community.
The program is voluntary for
students and hosts. Also
please note that it is not a home-stay program – the
students reside in dorms on campus. Our office
sponsors occasional events during the year; other activities
and interactions between hosts and students are determined
mutually by the participants. It is understood
that both hosts and students are busy and have many demands
on their time. Ways in which participants might interact include
having a meal together; staying in touch via phone or email;
sharing special occasions; taking a trip to a mall or a specialty
grocery store; and attending sporting or cultural events together.
It is our hope that the program provides informal and relaxed
experiences for hosts and students.
If
you are interested in participating, please fill in the relevant
application form online or download it and mail it to our
office in Peters 205.
