International Students Arriving in Metro-ATL this week!

They are coming!

This past week I welcomed hundreds of new international students at Georgia Tech English Language Institute's new student orientation! (One of its largest classes ever!) It was a joy to tell them about the benefits of Homestay! Many other language schools, colleges, and universities across Metro-Atlanta will do the same this week!

Did you know that in Georgia there are 17,000 international students on student visas? Did you know that 12-14K of these study in Metro-Atlanta Colleges? Which top countries do they come from?
  1. China (23%)
  2. India (17%)
  3. South Korea (14.2%)
  4. Taiwan (2.6%)
  5. Saudi Arabia (2.2%)
Our international students bring such a rich cultural diversity to their universities and our city! Moreover, they contributed to over $462.9 million in expenditures to our state economy last year?.

What better way to welcome them to the USA and our great city Atlanta than by becoming a Homestay Host!

Become a Cultural Ambassador of the USA!----BE A HOMESTAY HOST! 

Make a difference in the life our our students!
