I definately vote France. You will have an opportunity to show the French that not all American are "stupid Americans", and you'll also learn that not all french people hate Americans. One of my best friends in the world in French, and we met in college when she came to the US as an exchange student.

Well, I would have to say Sweden. Although, I have never been, it is most appealing to me. It has such history, and then there is modern Sweden with all of the design and such. AND the Swedish language is by far the easiest language I have ever seen. Like, here we have 'am', 'is' and 'are' as state of being verbs, they just use 'år' for everything. Its awesome. Penna = pen. Mig = me. (Pronounced Mey) So you see when I mean with the similarities. But, your question does depend on what degree you are going for. And I am assuming your a Jr in college, not high school. haha. Oh, and if you choose Sweden, or want to learn a bit more language to help you decide, go here, http://www.onlineswedish.com/main.php , Björn rocks! :D

Please do not listen to people that truly do not know what they are talking about. Paris may not treat many Americans well from time to time but in truth they do not treat french people well if they are not from Paris as well. I do a lot of business in France and Switzerland and except for two times in Paris I have always been treated extremely well. I do not speak French but try and they like that you at least try. France is full of culture and the place to be for good food in Europe so you would not be disappointed. As well you could literally go into Switzerland by train for the weekend if you wanted to. Ireland is beautiful and friendly but limited as to what you could do.

Jenny, I'm French and I want to give you an advice : don't listen the anti-french propaganda developped by your government. The French don't hate Americans ! Believe me. They just disagree with the US foreign policy, that's all. They'll treat you as an individual, with respect if you respect them. Just an argument for convice you of going to France : to become fluent in an other language than yours. Think about the benefits in the future !!! You're welcome in France. (sorry for my poor english...)

-ASEE is around $4,000 and it's a program where you can either gor for a few weeks in the summer or do a year in your country cof choice, etc. They have a websit I'm sure you can fid it on google, I almost went, but got interested in something else. -People to People:Student Ambassador Program around $7,000 and theres a grade average for this one. It's a program where you choose a selection of different arranged countries and travel them within a few weeks period of time (I'm pretty sure) -I am sixteen and have had a lot of experience in this area, you'll be able to and it is awfully expensive so you would need to start raising money like now and need to apply around this time if you want a spot.

A long stay visa for one Schengen country lets you freely travel to all other countries of the Schengen agreement without the need to get any further visa. You can freely travel to Germany and Switzerland without further immigration formalities for up to 90 days. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en .. http://dc.the-netherlands.org/Services/Consular_services/Visa/US_citizens/Traveling_to_the_Netherlands/Tourist_and_Business_Visa_for_the_Netherlands_Schengen/See_also/Map_of_Schengen_countries .. The United Kingdom however is not signatory to the free-travel part of the Schengen agreement and has chosen the option to keep controlling its borders. In order to travel to the United Kingdom you will either need to hold a passport of a country which exempts from the visitors visa requirement like the American passport or you will need to apply for a visa if you are a visa national.. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/doineedvisa/visadatvnationals .. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/wheretoapply/france ..

You can travel through out the continent of Europe. However I am not certain on the UK, you will need to check with their embassy.

Should I be go to France or Ireland as an exchange student?
Should I be go to France or Ireland as an exchange student?
I live in the U.S. and studying somewhere else has caught my fancy. I'm trying to think of the advantages/disadvantages but I can't find any o.0 The program for Ireland only requires English and for France it's 2 years of French I grew up speaking English, Spanish, Gaeilge and I've spoken near-fluent French for 2 years since my family (including me) is OBSESSED with learning things.

well... which language do you know better? where do you think you will have the most fun, AND be focused on your studies more. becuase u still have to have fun also depends on what u r studying, for example if u wanna be a chef the best schools are in France

Can you speak fluent (or near fluent) French? If not go to Ireland. When exchange students come to the US they speak English, they don't expect us to know their language so you need to keep that in mind. Currently...I would say Ireland. Europe is having some hard times now, besides the economy. There have been reports of terrorist threats so the closer to home, the better IMO. But don't let that decide for you. Choose what your heart says to do (I know that should be used for something big and life changing, but you never know what could happen). Just remember to have fun, and take LOTS of pictures.

can you say para tu francais?

I would go to France - I went to France as an exchange student for a year and loved it, and speaking fluent French has helped me to get several jobs. You can always go to Ireland as a tourist - you could even go for a long weekend from France as there are budget airlines like Ryanair if you want to visit.
