SNHU is proud to partner with American Homestay Network to offer international students the opportunity to stay with a host family during their studies in Manchester. You will settle faster, be safer and make better long term decisions on your future accommodation. Your AHN Host will also help you with a personalized one on one orientation (including assistance and advice with local transport, shopping, banking as well as introducing and assisting with networks, mentoring, ‘culturalizing’ etc.).

Our experience is that better settled International Students get better results and mix better with domestic students. Beginning your adventure with AHN Homestay allows students to jump right into their studies without the worries of finding housing, furniture, and signing leases all from overseas. AHN Homestay Hosts will help you to settle in to life in the USA and advise you of how to get acclimated to American ways.

The global homestay network group has successfully placed more international students in high quality, safe and well managed homestays than any other similar program. Hosts are carefully selected to ensure that our students are placed in environments that are not only safe and comfortable but also warm and welcoming. Hosts offer more than rooms for rent;they offer a support system and authentic interest in welcoming a student to America.

AHN’s sophisticated student/host matching service,24/7 critical-incident service, banking and payment services, and airport transportation services make the AHN homestay experience the best in the nation.

AHN places each student with a matching host family located as near as we can to the student’s place of education. The host will provide the student with a private bedroom, an agreed upon meal plan, and will assist the student in learning the local customs and transportation systems, as well as help the student become acquainted with the American way of life. Many students enjoy activities with their local family and become life-long friends.

The homestay program includes:

• Homestay management and support throughout the entire homestay experience
• Extensive national background checks for hosts
• Student support services
• Comprehensive online training and orientation
• Professionally staffed 24/7 hotline
• Automated online payment services for students and hosts
