University Tours

Are you looking to attend a university in America, but need some direction? Quest offers an exciting opportunity for you to tour universities while extending your U.S. visit.

 

Our University Tour Program is for students who are interested in visiting U.S. college campuses while gaining valuable language and cultural experiences in America. These experiences come through living with an American host family who will provide a nurturing home environment for students and a local Quest representative who will guide the university tours.

 

An American university campus tour is a perfect way for international students to get a glimpse of American college life. During the tour students will get information about admission requirements, meet other students, tour inside the university and may even have a chance to speak to school personnel.

 

The University Tour Program can be combined with English as a Second Language package and can be designed as a two week to one month learning experience. Students will study English Monday through Thursday and tour different college campuses on Friday. Here students will get information about admission requirements, meet other students, tour the university and speak to school personnel.

 

Quest host families are pre-screened and criminal background checks are conducted to ensure the safety of our students. We offer students the flexibility to choose a single host family placement or a double placement together with another student.

 

The English as a Second Language component is an opportunity for students to brush up on their English vocabulary and learn new language skills. Trained ESL teachers spend 16 classroom hours per week with students where a variety of teaching tools are used including books, videos and role-play to give students the confidence to speak English comfortably.
