I met a guy who is a study abroad student from France...?
We really like each other, however, he leaves in a couple of weeks to go back to France until the end of july. Have you ever dated a person who is from another country??

No... but don't let him go if you really like him... the French accent is so god damn sexy... Love concurs all in the very end =D

My one girlfriend in high school (actually ever) was the foreign exchange student from New Zealand. I really liked her, but I have to admit that I was probably dating her because she would be leaving before it got "serious". I liked her. She was fun.

Careful as "collège" in French means middle school. I assume you mean universities? What do you want to study? Do you already speak French? Would you be doing a French language course? I liked attending this school; http://www.uco.fr/61803865/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH= Here is it's sister school in Paris (although it's best to study French outside of Paris for a number of reasons); http://www.icp.fr/icp/etudiants_etrangers_uk.php Both are excellent for learning French. Angers set up housing for me. All I had to do was buy a plane ticket. Personally, I think U.S. university programs are much too expensive and isolating. They boast that they give college credit but for the money, I think it's better to study at home and then go over to France. I left after graduation. Hope that helps!

If you want to study in France for cheap and have a good time I would look into Universite de Bourgogne. I studied there for a month last summer and the tuition was only 610 Euro for one month! Not bad compared to other schools, I also stayed on campus and that was an additional 328 Euro. (about $1400US, cheaper when I went due to exchange rates) They also took us on 2 excursions (about $300 each) to Paris and to Loire Valley (which I missed to go to Nice instead). Dijon is about 2 hours south east of Charles De Gaulle airport by train. The University was nice because there were students there from all around the world, classes were about 3-4 hours a day and we had the weekends to ourselves. The town is small, but it's really nice. There was plenty of shopping and places to eat. You are close to Germany and Switzerland too. You can also take day trips to Paris since it's so close, student in my group would go to shop for a day then come back. I looked through the book and didn't see any GPA requirements, which makes sense because you are directly enrolled into the school, you get a student ID and everything. You can eat on campus so food can get a little expensive if you venture out for lunch or dinner. But good luck, if you have any questions email me. I included a link to the programs website...Check it out there is a lot of info! :) -Jake Ps. Click on the PDF file on the bottom left and you can view the program booklet

Is it possible to become an exchange student in France, although I haven't taken formal classes...?
Is it possible to become an exchange student in France, although I haven't taken formal classes...?
I've been learning French for years on my own, and I'd like to do a foreign exchange program. Problem is, all the programs I've seen require two or so years of French classes in school. The school district I'm in doesn't have French as an option, so I'm stuck. :/ Is there a way out of this, or are there programs that'll accept me?

Yes, I went to France for a year as an exchange student and didn't know a word of French. Now I speak it fluently. If you want to go through your school I am sure you can find a French class online?
2 :
I know ASSE accepts people with absoulutely no language ability. So if your in high school and want to go to France it would be a good program for you. http://www.asse.com/United_States/index.html
3 :
Yes you can study abroad in France without even knowing a single word. I would recommend you go through AFS, assuming you're in High School. They have 60 years of experience in intercultural exchanges and they don't require you to know the language of your host country but it does help immensely. Here's a couple links you can take a look at- http://www.afsusa.org/usa_en/home http://www.afsusa.org/usa_en/focus_on/high_school/30 Good Luck!

I have a possible phone number, but it is expensive to try possibilities. My host sister most likely has a new surname.???

if you type the number in on google.com they may come up in a phone directory.

There are several ways to do this quite cheaply. The obvious is to write a letter to the last address you had. You could also contact the exchange program and see if they still have them on a mailing list. As for your phone ... you can get a phone card, which will only cost you a few cents a minute. They are available almost anywhere. If you have a high speed internet connection, consider signing up for Skype. You can call any phone in Europe for about 2 cents/minute. If you call to another computer, it's free. You might also look for your family on the internet -- MSN, Skype, Face Book, Myspace, etc. I was able to find one of my "kids" that I had lost touch with on Facebook. Good luck to you and I hope you can reestablish the connection!
