Not good idea to choose this company. They only think to earn money and they are extremely rude for student. And they don't provide any homestay informations until you pay entire fee and you can't choose which homestay to stay. They provided a homestay which is super far from my uni for me she even though I told them that I don't have any vehicles.

I had a wonderful experience in Mrs. Karen' house, in Irvine (CA). Great food, nice people, and admirable room-mates. I hope to have another USH experience as soon as possible!

My experience with this company was extremely bad. After being moved 3 times they finally put me in a descent place that provided all the services I was paying for. Their price changes every month for some reason; if you ever forget to make payment on the due date they will threaten you with forcing you to get you out of the place with law enforcement even if you're still within the timeframe stated in their terms and conditions.

I think it's the worst option to choose pay the application fare. Afterwards, I check the price and I think it's expensive, so I decide not to find a place to live through the website. Three months later, they charge me for $1085 because I don't cancel the application without my permission. Actually, I don't receive anything from them to inform me about that. WTF 

Business response:

Hello Haoting Zheng, Thank you for your contact and we are sorry you feel this way; our prices list information, they are all available on our home page for all of our students to check before they submit their housing requests - we believe you may have not noticed or missed that. According to our records you submitted a reservation request for our homestay program, and a family was confirmed on May 25th, for you to move in by August 10th. The family was reserved, invoices and payment links sent, reminders emails sent to you... read more
