I'm an American student wishing to go to france as an exchange student, any help?
I want to go to France as an exchange student so bad but I really can't find a good site. I would like something at it's cheapest but easy too. Mainly I just don't want to pay 10,000 dollars just to go to France. Anyone who can help?

Hello I'm going to Japan for my sophomore year with AFS. So, the most reliable programs are AFS, YFU, and Rotary. AFS and YFU are not going to work for you, due to their prices, I'm guessing. Keep in mind that with them you're not paying "just to go to France". You're paying for insurance, 24/7 emergency assistance, orientations, round-trip international travel, Visa assistance, school placement/tuition, school uniform (if necessary) access to support,etc. Rotary, on the other hand, is probably the program you'll want to go with.It's still going to run you a few thousand, though. Their prices range from around $1000 to $4000, plus the price of air-travel. If you find anything cheaper than this, it's probably not a good organization. However, Rotary is not the same as other exchange programs, you switch host families every few months (so that you'll see different places in the country) and you have to be open to other countries, as it's not exactly common for students to get their first choice. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. Hope you can go on exchange! :)
