$700 per month, I prefer to be with American family to engage in American culture and learn English directly from an English-speaking family.

Your country may have agencies to help with this. May I ask where your from? Or your home university may have some program.

Have you tried going through UIC? According to their website, they have homestay opportunities through an application process: Intensive English Program: Homestay. Since you're in Chicago, you might want to visit their office on campus which appears to be MC 324 according to the webpage found here: Intensive English Program: About Us. There is also a phone number listed there for you to call.

Default Homestay in Oak Park

Hi --We have an available room in our Oak Park homestay. We are in the historic district, a short walk to the Green Line, which you can take to the Blue Line, to UIC. We've been hosting students since 1993, and many who have attended UIC. Our daughter graduated from there, and she lived at home and commuted while in school there. We charge $850 per month and that includes breakfast and dinner, free WIFI and free laundry facilities . If you are interested you can reach me here, or email me at : [email]ophomestay@live.com[/email].
thanks !
