We had an extra room w/ bathroom downstairs so we rented that out to homestay students for a LONG TIME (10+ years). It was actually VERY multicultural BUT you need to realize that you can search around and get VERY GOOD students. We NEVER accepted students in highschool, only college/university. We had students from Switzerland, Brazil, Korean, Japan, Hong Kong.

We mainly got the students from the English language schools downtown. ALL were very nice and respectful. Most did not call when they weren't coming home for dinner, so yes... lots of leftovers for dinners. But overall it's not a bad way to get some extra cash.
