For over 20 years we have been renting to many happy boarders: local students, international students from Asia, Europe, Africa, and America, undergraduate students, grad students and professionals. Here are some comments from our guest book:
... It was my pleasure and honor to meet and live with you guys. I don't think I missed my home that much because I had an equally loving family here in Urbana. I will treasure this experience for a lifetime and I wish only good things for all of you in the future ... (2006, female graduate student from India)
... I could fill this book with thoughts and memories of this family, but will leave this entry as a thank you for all they have given to me and taught me. And hopefully will continue to infinity we stay in touch ... (2007, female graduate student arriving from Africa)
.. I wish to know a word greater than gratitude; simple gratefulness fails to encapsulate my feelings towards this family. Much love, and many, many thanks for everything, ... (2008, male US graduate student)
