Upon arrival on the Purdue University campus, Fellows will be staying in student housing located within walking distance from institute classrooms. Residence assistants, who have had previous experience working as counselors in summer youth camps, will be staying with Fellows and will be available to them.
“I had the time of my life. I met amazing people and awesome characters. The mentors were fantastic. They did their best to help us. The host family made me feel like I’m in my own home and made me feel welcome.”
Homestay
Mid-July, Fellows will transfer to their host families. All host families live in the vicinity of Purdue University. Host families will provide meals, supervision and a program of family activities during the length of the home stay. All families will be screened for suitability for hosting the BFTF Fellows.
