How would I become a foriegn exchange student to France for the summer?
I would like to be a foriegn exchange student just for 3 or 4 weeks in the summer of 2013 to France. This will be the summer before my senoir year. My school doesnt do anything like this though they do take in foriegn students. How do i do this cheaply? Is there even a cheap option? If i do go over there i do want to be safe. Does anyone have any information on how they did it? Or I even love to hear stories! Please help! Thanks!

A summer abroad before your senior year is a great idea! A great place to check out a full list of reputable study abroad companies is the Council on Standars for International Educational Travel, or CSIET. I'm actually a study abroad advisor for AYUSA Study Abroad and we help US and Canadian high shcool students like you become exchange students. We offer a great summer language program in France. While abroad, you will live with a local host family, attend an international language school and also get the chance to travel! I do understand that studying abroad can be pricey for some families, but the cost of our programs are very inclusive. Our cost includes: *international airfare *health insurance *room & board *placement in school and host family *pre-departure guidance and preparation *in country support & assistance *pre-departure and arrival orientations With the cost, you will receive top quality and of course safety (you will be supervised on your daily excursions!). If you happen to stumble across another study abroad company who is offering a similar program for a fraction of our cost, be careful! You may not be offered the same quality, service or safety, so I suggest you check out CSIET's list! If you want to hear some stories, look at photos, and read blogs and feedback, you can check out AYUSA's blog site and facebook webpage. Good luck! :)
