II-Host Family Program:

     

The Host Family program at METU NCC International Student Office is designed to encourage interactions between overseas students and local families in Northern Cyprus.

As a host, you might invite your guest student out to dine together, to explore historical places on the Island, and to family events such as birthdays, weddings, etc. We strongly encourage our host families to be flexible in organizing excursions not to disrupt the student's studies.

As METU NCC International Student Office, our main goal in this program is to:

• Provide opportunities for our international students to be exposed to Cypriot culture,

• Help our international students deal with periods of homesickness they may experience after arriving to METU NCC campus,

• Build a warm long-lasting multi-cultural friendship between international students and local host families.

We expect both the students and the host families will have great opportunities through this program to get familiar with different cultures, and understand different world perspectives.

If you would like to experience this holiday in the future with a Cypriot family, you may sign up by contacting International Students Office by email nccisometu.edu.tr
