UTP's Host Family Network
Host Families are the backbone of a student’s successful experience abroad. As they provide our students’ home away from home, UTP is dedicated to finding families that can make our students feel safe and supported. A key quality of a host is flexibility to a student’s unique needs, interests, and understanding of the adjustment to American life. Students are looking for an American experience!
