highly recommend

I highly recommend Star Exchange. I have just completed nine months of living in China, and thanks to them, I had an incredibly enjoyable time.
First of all, they are not an overly commercial agency, which means they are not money-driven. Believe me, this is quite rare among agencies (as I compared many, haha).
Additionally, they don’t over-promise. The entire team frequently emphasized the importance of understanding cultural differences. Their training was very detailed, not only listing all the key points clearly in a well-structured PowerPoint, but also addressing areas where cultural differences might make me feel uncomfortable. The training provided by their staff even included on-site guidance on how to respond and adjust to family life in a Chinese household.
Moreover, I feel they took great care in getting to know my preferences for an ideal host family and made a well-considered match. I am truly grateful that through them, I found my home in China. Yes, I can proudly say that my Chinese host family gave me a ‘home away from home’ – they were absolutely wonderful.
Thank you to everyone at the Star Exchange team!
