Fahd,

You might try contacting the cultural exchange program people at Missouri State University...https://www.missouristate.edu/equity/43942.htm (broken link)

There are others, but they'll surely be able to point you in the right direction!

Good Luck.
It's a beautiful country.

Dear Lake, Thanks for your response, I really appreciate that, I already contact the University & they don't have any program for home stay with American family... I hope you can help with that, I'll arrive to Springfield at May

Do you mean to tell me that you are just going to show up in Springfield with no prior arrangements? You're not working through an agency? Don't nobody know nothin' about you, young feller, so I think you may have some problems getting people with any sense to take you into their home. We try to be friendly but we didn't fall off a turnip truck.

Have you also looked at Center for Cultural Interchange - Foreign Exchange Students, Work, Study, Travel Abroad or similar agencies to assist? Curious, what school major/interest brings you to Springfield, Missouri? Not being nosy, but wondering as you say you are an international student, have you already been to school(s) in the US? If we knew your experience level, might help find you assistance... Interesting that MSU doesn't have such kind of program.

Default Saudi Student

Have you had any luck in finding assistance? I used to tutor Middle Eastern students at Michigan State University (also "MSU"). I'm full-timing in my RV currently, so can't offer you a place to stay. Please let me know if you have found assistance.
