Home Stay
After orientation, students move in with their Nepali or Tibetan home stay families throughout Kathmandu.  The families all come from varied economic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, and will provide students with their most enriching exposure to local culture and lifestyle.

"I thought the program was coordinated very well, and I had a world of resources and information at my disposal just by picking my coordinator's brain on any of the topics that we were studying (and some that we were not).  I came to Kathmandu with few expectations and the program greatly surpassed them.”
