The Southwestern Company provides college students the opportunity to develop relationships with host families from another part of the country or world. It is our belief at The Southwestern Company that participation fosters an understanding of the values and attitudes of these hard working students while at the same time exposing them to a different culture/part of the country. The Southwestern Company host family program allows US and International students the opportunity to live with families in the local community when they will run their own business this summer. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, low-cost housing option for the students while they are away from home.
