对于第一次来到美国的新生而言，下飞机后的第一站是最困难的。他们拎着大包小包，面对陌生的环境，非常需要帮助。今年ＵCSD CSSA与San Diego主恩堂和华美基督教会合作，安排接待了大部分新入学的中国学生。除了安排接机（pick up）以外，对于没找到住处的，还联系了接待家庭（host family）让他们暂住。事实证明CSSA和host family的付出让他们在美国的学习和生活有了一个很好的开始。很多host family为学生垫付了房租或押金，带学生找房子，办手机，买床和家具；介绍美国文化。所有学生都很认为我们的program对他们很有帮助。下面是部分学生回馈给CSSA的信息。

Thank you for your help during my first few days in San Diego. I just don’t know how to show my appreciation to all of you, especially my host family. And I can’t find another word to express my thanks. Sorry I am not good at writing or talking but I am really touched by all the host families and help from CSSA. Anyway, thanks to all of you. Hope everything goes well with you!

自己从来都是一个last minute person，15号学校开始各种活动，我14号才到美国。来之前房子没有找，地图没有查，除了学校的几个老师外，一个认识的人都没有。 Continue reading ‘Host Family Program Feedback - Part II’
