Hosting an exchange student

Have any of you ever done this? We weren't planning on hosting a student but the opportunity fell into our lap and now we are approved. A student had come into the country for orientation and her original host family backed out the day before she was supposed to move in. We've been working over the past week to submit paperwork, interview, etc. and now she's moving in on Thursday. We have a daughter and our daughter and the exchange student are the same age/grade and will attend the same school. We're all incredibly excited for this opportunity.

For anyone that has done this before, offer up any guidance that you might have. I'm open to tips/tricks/hacks/things to avoid. We are certainly aware of the obvious things so looking for the nuances that might make this experience even better.

Now I need to find some ISU gear for her to wear...

Hinterland 2019

So it sounds like an announcement may be coming today on acts for now the 3 day festival.... Super excited to see where this goes! Any guesses on who? I am thinking Gary Clark JR back as a headliner for one night, I also feel like Vampire Weekend potentials, I have no source just feelings so far!

WTB: 1 OSU ticket

Looking for one nosebleed/cheap ticket to OSU. Plan to use it for my wife and our family to sit on the hill so don't need anything other than to get in the door. Even if someone isn't using a parent pass that we could borrow (pay to borrow of course), let me know. Just seeing what options are out there.
