澳际留学专家发现，在申请美国高中前期，很多学生的关注点往往放在学校AP开课数，人数，课程等等，但是拿到通知书之后，学生会发现，其实寄宿家庭才是留学中最重要的一环，怎样选择合适的寄宿家庭，这里简单介绍。

　　一般如果办理时间充裕的话，寄宿家庭安排时间也会相对充裕，学校往往会让合作的急速家庭提供更多的信息，一般要求他们写一个简介，里面阐述为什么想做寄宿家庭，以及家庭成员的基本信息，下面，就是我办理学员的寄宿家庭对于家庭情况描述的介绍：

　　Our home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom.

　　We have cable TV, wireless internet, a swimming pool, washer/dryer, piano, etc. We also live on a lake and have a boat. Our family interests include bike riding (you will be provided with a bike if you want one), playing tennis, fishing, playing games, going to movies, camping, traveling, etc. We are very active in our church and attend regularly on Sundays and participate in Bible Studies. Our church has a great youth group and they meet on Wednesday evenings. We eat a healthy diet and most meals are home cooked, however we do enjoy eating out on the weekends.

　　另外，还需要关注寄宿家庭的小孩在哪所学校上学，以及寄宿家庭的工作状况。

　　一般都可以要到寄宿家庭成员联系方式，如果有不确定的地方，可以汇总一下，邮件沟通。
