Host Family Resources

We send our warmest thanks to our Host Families for volunteering their time, their homes, and their hearts to help International Place and Community Friends of International Students welcome new students to The Claremont Colleges. Immigration regulations, financial concerns and cultural adjustment make the journey to this country a tremendous challenge for students from around the world. Host families play a critical role in welcoming these new students to the United States and to Claremont.

I-Place is available to assist students with shopping, banking, housing search and more. However, many host families enjoy assisting their student with these tasks. Below are some links that might help.
