Be careful! Sexual abuse has ocurred with an EF host in 2022 in ********************. The school and Teachers have been great. But the housing department and school management are amateurs - and definitely not looking out for the students (read: the customers) safety or well-being. Our daughter was sent to a host family, where the couple was divorced but pretending to be married. They only wanted female students. And we quickly discovered why. They were having heated arguments - and the husband was being sexually inappropiate towards the girls living in his house. EF Housing and Management had received several complaints about this from other students who had stayed in that house, but had asked to be moved to a different family. Dispite of this, *********************** sent my 18-year Old daughter to stay with this host family together with an 18-year old girl from *****, who could only communicate through ****** translate. The husband took advantage of this, and had been inappropriately affectionate towards the ******** girl. Finally after one week, she had enough and asked EF to get removed from the house. After leaving the house, she managed to explain it all to my daughter. But no one from EF found it necessary to remove my daughter. Only when we, her parents contacted the housing department, did they take action. The excuse from the management is that they lack good families after Covid 19. Our son stayed with a single mother, that served bad and cold food for breakfast and dinner. And she called him Boy 2 and his roomie Boy 1. At Thanksgiving she had her family over for dinner, but did not even invite the boys. So be careful. Dont expect to get anything but a place to sleep from the host families EF is working with. You can get lucky, though. After all the spectacle we made, our daughter was finally moved to a new host. A 92-year old lady, who took good care of her. So my advice, spend your money elsewhere.
