MITT Homestay Program
Homestays provide students an opportunity to experience life with a local family, practice and improve English language skills and make lasting memories. For many students coming to MITT to study, it is their first time away from home and family and a homestay is a great way to make the transition easier. Host families play a key role in a student’s experience in Winnipeg by exposing him or her to local food, customs and culture and providing valuable support with adjusting to a new environment.
Accommodation is one of the pillars of student success. For this reason, we have developed our in-house homestay program with the mission to provide an enriching cultural exchange between students and host families where communication skills are reinforced outside the classroom in a safe and supportive environment.
Private bedroom, single bed with linens, closet, desk, lamp, desk chair
3 nutritious meals per day
All utilities (hydro, water, gas, internet)
We work very hard to find suitable homestay hosts that are close to campus, although is not always possible. Average travel time by bus may vary between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on location and local traffic and weather conditions. In summer, some students are able to bike or walk to campus!
Every family is different and it also depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. Winnipeg and Manitoba have a lot to offer when it comes to attractions, festivals, things to do and places to visit. A few ideas can include: biking, going to the movies, shopping, visiting museums, going to a concert, skiing, camping, swimming at the lake or soaking up the sun at the beach. The choice is yours!
Cost per month is $700 due in advance for the first 2 months for a total of $1,400.
Read and agree to all terms and conditions of the program as stated in the Homestay Program Guidelines for Students, submit a completed application form and pay the required fees.
