Being an exchange student is a challenging, rewarding and fun experience. You’re not a tourist or a guest. You\u2019re actually living in your host country as a member of that community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be placed with a host family and attend a local school. You\u2019ll live like a local and become immersed in the culture. You\u2019ll learn the language and gain invaluable international experience. You\u2019ll learn a lot about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student exchange programs promote tolerance, maturity and independence. They also encourage an international perspective. In a very competitive world these are highly sought after qualities. Experience is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
