    Pros:

    1 - Get to meet other foreign students,

    2 - make new friends

    3 - show someone around your town.

    4 - share your values

    5 - learn about another country

    Cons:

    1 - It is a big responsibility. You have total responsibility for someone else's child

    What John C said, but also:

    CON:

    You don't know what the kid is like until they come over (e.g the could be a total brat because their parents don't disciplined them)
