i’m going to attend an international language school in Berkeley. I will stay as a homestay, i mean that i will stay with a family and pay them monthly for room. Often the families that offer homestay are “lower class”. So my question is… Where are located this families? They told me the families live a reasonable distance away from the school (between 30 and 60 minutes by public transport).
So consider the distance and the “lower class” neightbourhood… where they could be? Which towns/neighbourhood?
Sorry for my english, it is obvious… i need to study it!
the school is located downtown berkeley

What you need to be concerned with is not the "lower class neighborhoods " but the "unsafe neighborhoods".

Ask where they are located and then check to see if that neighborhood is SAFE.

I’ll also be taking day trips to places like Paris, Versailles, Mont St. Michel, etc. What should I pack, and what are some tips for homestaying with a French family?

Thanks so much!

Most important, learn some French if you have not done so already. If only Good morning, hello, goodbye and thank you.
It breaks the ice, shows you are willing to try French and depending on your accent, fail utterly or are worth redeeming. In 5 weeks they will teach you way more and your accent will improve.

For a home stay, bring the kind of clothes you would bring when staying with a grandparent or older aunt, jeans, T-shirts but also a few nice outfits for dinner out.

Brittany can be cool and wet, but also sunny and hot, so bring clothes for both kinds of weather, including swimming gear and sports shorts if you are part of a group that might have a sports day included. Swimming shorts in France are tight, wide boxer shorts are not allowed in the pool, as too many people wear them all day and they are considered dirty.
And do not forget a sweater and a rain jacket.

You do not need to bring enough clothes for 5 weeks, they will do laundry for you.

Casa De Mirita is not a hotel or apartment, but rather an opportunity to stay with a family in Cajamarca, Peru. We enjoyed our two nights here with Vicky, Mirita, and Vicky’s daughter Dianna.

If you are looking for an apartment or hotel during your stay in Cajamarca, why not live with a family instead and experience Peru as Peruvians experience Cajamarca, Peru?
