Moving to Dubai from the U.S. I NEED ANSWERS!!! (Abu Dhabi)

I am a 20 year old male from the United States looking forward to moving to Dubai to attend Zayed Univeersity or American University in Dubai. I was wondering if you could give me more information on if their are any families in Dubai that host American students while over in another country. Also, I would be looking for employment during my stay so that I could help pay for college expenses. With that being said, I am considering moving in Fall Protected content in the beginning of January Protected content . I would like to start figuring out things now so that it would be less stressful for me in the future and I could already know what to expect. Thank you!
