Homestay Near New York Film Academy Los Angeles — What's Included

Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch place students with verified American host families in residential neighborhoods throughout Burbank and the surrounding San Fernando Valley, close to the NYFA Los Angeles campus. The area includes Burbank, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Studio City, and neighboring communities — well-established residential neighborhoods within easy reach of the campus and the major studios that define Burbank's entertainment industry character. Every host home is personally inspected by our staff before placement and must meet our quality standards.

Your homestay includes a private furnished bedroom, meals, and all utilities — everything ready before you arrive. For students arriving from abroad for a short workshop or a full degree program, homestay removes the need to sign a long-term lease, buy furniture, or set up utilities from overseas. Your host family lives locally and can help you orient to Burbank, find transit routes, and settle into daily life in Southern California.

F-1 and M-1 students are welcome. Placements are available for short-term and extended stays, with a four-week minimum.
