I would say the opposit 
you make a lot of friends on campus I know that since i’ve been at uni the people that i met in halls are still some of my closest friends and i don’t think i would have met them if i had stayed at home.
it can also give you a lot more independance staying on campus as you don’t have parents to worry about and can enjoy yourself a bit more.
but everyone is different

Someone told me that Maryland doesn’t allow non-citizen students (unaccompanied) to come as homestay students and study in pubic schools but Virginia does. Is this true?
I don’t know… but I do live in Virgina and that part is correct.

how to find holiday home rent in Bangkok Thailand if yahoo ‘homestay accommodation Bangkok’ has only 1 home stay rent? I am after a homestay for my vacation and not a homestay for a student.
homestay might or might not be cheaper than a guest house or hotel – but they are a different concept in travelling.
you can even rent the whole homestay house for the whole family or a large group for some $30 or 1k baht/night – for sure it will be much cheaper than renting several rooms in a guest house or hotel.

do any of you guys know any similar programs like people to people?
basically, its a program where one and a bunch of other students (middle school through high school) go to a different country and learn stuff, make new friends, and stay at a homestay.
ive traveled to europe with them, and i was looking for something similar–possibly a bit cheaper?
thanks in advancee.
People to People’s the big program. They sell candy and do fundraisers to help you pay for it, so it’s not that huge of a problem.
That being said, if you plan on going to college, just do a legit study abroad. People to People is fine, but it really is just a long vacation.
