"AEEA is highly trustworthy. They not only provide reliable and caring host families, but also send timely weekly progress reports on students to parents. Moreover, they offer emotional support to students when they are going through hard times. AEEA truly cares about every student's well-being—they are professional and highly responsible.

"AEEA is a very responsible company that has completely services for students. Students also have counselors to get help. When I am trying to find a clinic for my TMJ, the counselor found a place in my neighbor immediately. I really appreciated it."

"AEEA provided a supportive and well-organized experience during my time at school. I truly love my host family, and we still keep in touch to this day—they were always thoughtful and incredibly supportive, which made my experience feel like a true home away from home. I really appreciated the care and communication throughout my stay."

"I came to Portland Oregon in 2022. I stayed 2 years with a host family before I graduated from high school. It was my first time to come to the U.S. by myself and live with a host family for a long term; it was a very cool experience. Sometimes, I make my host family laugh because of the language barrier, and they will always help me to correct the word or the way to use the words for me to understand. Staying with my host family helped me a lot with improving my English. I really enjoyed the time I had with my host family and high school in Portland, Oregon. Being an international student and having a homestay family experience was definitely a great decision I made."

“Adapting to life in a new country was challenging, especially with the language barrier. But over time, with the support from my teachers and friends, I grew more comfortable. It wasn’t just about learning English; I also gained a deeper understanding of American culture and how to navigate the education system. The guidance I received helped me secure scholarships, and I feel prepared to take on the challenges of college life.”

“One thing that surprised me when I arrived was how quickly I made friends. I didn’t expect the American students to be so open, but they were the first ones to come up and talk to me. That made a huge difference in how I settled into the school. The teachers and classmates were always supportive, and with their help, I was able to adjust to both the academic and social life here. It wasn’t easy at first, but now I feel much more confident about continuing my education in computer science.”

“Moving to the U.S. was intimidating at first, but the kindness of my host family and teachers made a big difference. They were always patient, helping me adjust to both the culture and the academic expectations. I never felt alone in the process. The experience not only improved my English but also gave me a sense of independence and confidence that I hadn’t expected. I’m excited to build on that as I study environmental science.”

“I wasn’t sure if I could keep up with my studies in a new country, but the support from my teachers and friends made all the difference. They encouraged me to join activities like the robotics club, where I found a sense of community. Little by little, my confidence grew, and I was able to excel both academically and socially. The skills and friendships I gained have stayed with me as I pursue my engineering degree.”
