Why? That was very intersting to learn from the cultural differences. As a matter of fact, I was sharing my house with students from other countries
Personal comments:
I think the idea to put students from different cultures and backgrounds was a great one. However, I would be a bit critic about the Student Office which took always a long time to make reparations when problems ccured
