I was wondering if anyone had any recent thoughts on living with a host family... either positive or negative experiences. What to look out for and prepare for...

Son lived with a host family as a 17 year old. He/we are still friends with the family. It was one of the best experiences for him. He grew up a lot. Had to learn to talk to people he didn’t really know, be assertive while being responsible and respectful. As High Change said, a lot of common sense and common courtesy. All good stuff. Stuff he will need to learn to become an effective employee, husband, father, etc.

RR,

Did your son play summer ball as a rising freshman? Would you mind sharing more about that?

Thanks
