The largest number of homestays are being organized through international student agencies, which generally don't get students to go to Universities, and which are much less-well-regulated and controlled.

There are a fuckton of horror stories that I get from my students. I'll not bore you, but suffice to say homestaying is not the picnic some people seem to think it is.
