Good information. I’ve never had a foreign student apply in one of my houses so I’d never thought of this issue. Years ago when I managed apartments for someone else we had foreign students, but I wasn’t involved in the selection process. I just had to clean up after them. I must say, of all the foreign students we rented to, I’m not sure any of them were a positive experience. Maybe that was lack of selection. Maybe it was assuming too much such as if they know what a garbage disposal is. Or how to flush a toilet in the US. Basic things seemed to be unknown to them.
