Housing and Dining
The Homestay Program is by far the best way to continue practicing English outside of the classroom and learn about American culture. Our staff carefully matches students and families based on mutual compatibility. Many of our families have been participating in the Homestay program for years and are well-trusted.
Homestay includes a private room, partial board per week, transportation by car to and from school and school related activities. Minimum age required for Homestay is 13 years old, unless accompanied by a parent. Normally, one student will be placed per home unless specifically requested by the student or under the following conditions: The students’ native language is not shared, the students’ gender must be the same.
University housing is available in Dallas/Ft. Worth on the campus of Texas Wesleyan University. Men's and women's residence halls are close to TLC, the cafeteria, library, and sports facilities for your convenience. Meal Plans are available for 14-21 meals per week.
TLC staff may also be able to arrange longer-term apartment leases or student rates at nearby hotels. Let Wellspring staff know if you would like additional information on housing.
