How do you become a foreign exchange student? From the U.S. to France?
I want to go to France with a foreign exchange program and I've looked up different ones but they all seem to be a little outdated. I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a foreign exchange to any country? If so, what program did you go with?

Hello, My Son has studied abroad with CIEE and they are one of the Top organizations. They have 120 programs in 40+ countries. Highly recomended! www.ciee.org

One way is to go is through your University (or an associated University) as a study abroad student. Some have classes in French Universities and have students living in apartments or home stay situations.

Going on exchange is an incredible experience! I applaud your interest in it. My biggest piece of advice is to go with an organization that is listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. While it is possible that a good organization is not listed with them, it is less likely and I would advise doing more research on anyone that is not listed with them. I wish I could give you some information based on direct experience with going on exchange but I was not fortunate enough to be able to do that. However, if you go to http://yfuusa.org/american-students/more-information/alumni-referral.php you can contact some former exchange students, including a couple who have gone to France. I hope that helps! Wish I could give you more information.
