At Transylvania, you’re part of an extended family, and our Host Family Program is a great example of that.
The program is especially for international students, those whose home is more than six hours away from campus, and students who would like a little additional support. It pairs a student with a local family that will provide a home for the student over breaks when the student can’t make it back to their hometown. Host families, who are Transylvania alumni, may also keep in touch throughout the school year, have dinner with the student, or attend community events together.
To apply for the program, complete the form below. For more information, contact Karen Anderson at (859) 233-8182 or kanderson@transy.edu or Natasa Mongiardo at (859) 233-8213 or npajic@transy.edu. Once the application is received, you’ll be matched with a host that shares similar interests and goals for the program.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.
