1、作息时间：在喜欢早睡的家庭，寄宿学生晚上九时以后最好不要再使用电话与人聊天，也不要在洗漱时弄出很大响动，更不要夜半归来，以免影响房东休息。
2、洗浴方面：寄宿学生最好搬入后就询问清楚自己洗澡的合适时间，以免时间发生冲突或没有热水。洗澡时尽量缩短时间，洗完后要将浴室清洁一下，开窗换气。
3、朋友来访：一般情况下，一定要征得寄宿家庭的同意方可邀请朋友来访，切不可自作主张经常让朋友前来，以免打扰寄宿家庭的日常生活，绝对不要留朋友在自己房间过夜。
4、适当帮忙：主动参与是融入家庭的最好表现，寄宿学生最好不要心存“我付钱你劳动”的想法，应适当参与一些家务劳动，如饭前摆放与饭后收拾餐桌、洗碗、帮助清洁房屋等等。
5、练习会话：多找机会、找话题与房东聊天，但不能不分场合、不看脸色死缠烂打地让房东与你练习口语。
6、收拾房间：每周六或周日，寄宿的学生要对自己的房间做一次全面清洁，整理好自己的物品。即便在平日里也不要出现不叠被褥、房间里乱七八糟的现象，要保持房间干净整洁。
7、早餐：美国家庭是非常注重吃早点的，每天早上要一家人一起吃早点，因此这也是中国学生不习惯的，在这方面是体现家庭温馨的一点。
