1.Will I be the only student foreigner in the family? You can stipulate it at the time of the inscription in the application form. 2.My host family will be close to my school ? All our host families live close to the schools. But , you have to remember that the Japanese cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka or Nagoya are bigger than much of European or American cities. Therefore, the travel time until the school can reach sometimes half an hour. 3.Can I visit my host family before to confirm my reservation ? No. 4.Is the washing of the clothes is done by the host family ? Yes, usually one time a week. We have to decide this matter with your host family. 5.Is there a discount if two people (a married couple) wish to do a homestay only (no studying) together? No, sorry. 6.How late can I arrive? You can arrive into your family between 18H and 21H 7.What is the maximum age permitted ? There is no maximum age permitted. But there is a minimum age, which is 18 years. If you are less than 18 years old, you will need to send us a letter signed by your parents. 8.How long before do I have to register ? We recommend that you proceed as quick as possible. It is really difficult and expensive to find an accommodation in Japan particularly at the beginning of each term. In order to find the family that best matches your needs, we suggest that you contact us while you are doing your school registration. 9.How will I pay ? To get started, return the application form to us . We will open a file for you, and start to search for a family that best matches your wishes. After the payment of the registration fee, we'll send you the complete file : our invoice, all the details about your host family, the payment schedule and the instructions. Each month, you will pay your family according to the schedule that we will give to you. 10.If I don't' feel comfortable with my family... In any case of misunderstanding, we will find a new family for you as soon as possible ( of course if something is available). Please note that sometimes all the host families are already booked and you will have to wait a while before you can change. We will not charge you for this service. If there is a problem, please tell us immediately. Don't be afraid ! Please note that your family can also ask us to find a new family for you ! 11.Will I have the keys ? Yes. You'll be absolutely free to come and go as you please and it's important for your family that you feel at home. If you come back late (or very early !) please try to be as quiet as possible ! Be very careful ! Don't lose your keys or you'll have to pay for a new lock (and it can be very expensive...) 12.Can I decide to stay longer in my family ? ( or shorter ) Of course if they are still "available". We recommend that you ask us as quick as possible ( not your host family ).If it is not available, we'll find a new family that again matches your wishes. In both cases, if you stay longer than expected you have to pay one more time the administration fees. Because, you have to understand that other people may want to stay in that family.
If you want to leave the family before the
excepted date, you have to contact us one month before. Otherwise, you
will have to pay to the host family one month of compensation. 17. I am not a
student, can I apply ? |
