Chemeketa Community College - Salem

As a new Chemeketa International Student, you must decide where you will live. To help you with this, we've put up a list of options that will help you find a safe and comfortable place to stay.

Homestay

For your first term as an international student, we strongly suggest homestay. It is one of the most efficient methods for improving your English language skills. You will have a family to talk to as well as assistance in getting to know the area. Our host families are located throughout the Salem-Keizer area and all reside near a bus stop, ensuring that you have convenient access to the campus. You should apply for homestay as soon as possible because we only have a limited number of families available and cannot promise that you will be placed with a homestay family. Students will get homestay forms through email once they have finished their application.
