there is so much diversity in America you'll fit right in lol If you go there, bring alot of cash and there is a high crime rate so don't carry cash on you. And carry a knife or pepper spray or something to defend yourself. Other than that, it's a fun place.

New York is a big city full of diversity. So if you aren't used to city life it may be a big change. However, if you're ready for the adventure then good luck to you! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time :) And yes, international students are welcome in New York. Good job on the English! :) I'm learning French so I know how hard it is.

I'm having an exchange student from France coming to my house this Saturday, what should I expect?
I'm having an exchange student from France coming to my house this Saturday, what should I expect?
I'm a 17 year old guy and this is my first time that my family decided to host an exchange student for two week. I live in Minnesota and I don't see too much for interesting activities, and she is a girl from France. She sounded sort of uptight in her letter saying that she was planning to be a lawyer, and how she gets good grades, and how her last experience in Britain was enjoyable. My mom sort of put me on as the person to drive her around and everything, and I don't know what to expect from her stay. I've heard that some exchange students smoke or try to drink alcoholic beverages when they are here because they do it at their homes, and I hope that that isn't the case. What should I expect? Also she's 16 and a half years old according to my sister which is directly in the middle of my sister's and my age. Uh, I'm not interested in sleeping with her. I'm talking about what the hell should I actually expect? Is she going to be snobbish or actually a good person?

Free phone call to exchange student in France?

i want to be an exchange student in france......?
i want to be an exchange student in france......?
Sorry this might be kinda long... So today in school a guy from AFS came to talk about the exchange program...which i've considered before but never gave it much thought. Now i'm thinking i might wanna do it though for a semester...i'd like to go to France: mainly because i love the language (this is my second year of taking it) and i know a lot of people who've been there. I'm a sophmore now and i'm thinking of going my junior or senior year. so have you been an exchange student in france or been in afs before?? how was it? and any warnings or tips or anything? and also....i dance A LOT, and i wanna keep doing it in france....do you know if thats possible?? thanks so much!

I was an exchange student in high school, studied abroad in college, and now I am a high school German teacher. I can tell you that AFS is 100% a legitimate organization, and you will have a fantastic time. Let me encourage you to go for the year -- you will gain a lot more fluency and have a much deeper, richer experience. It will also look terrific on your college apps. If you are thinking about junior year, you need to decide now, because the deadlines for applications/scholarships is probably coming up soon (mid-Nov?). Your junior year would be a great time to go, because you would be able to come back and do college visits your senior year, and also not miss things like prom and graduation. You can arrange to take your ACT/SAT while you're in France, too, if you want. I am sure AFS will help you be with a family that will encourage you with dance! I am also a musician, and my HS experience (not through AFS, but through another good org) made sure to place me with a musical family. Best of luck!!! Talk to your French teacher more about this! S/he will be so excited!!

Yes, I completely agree with the other answer! I am currently on an AFS year abroad in Germany, and I love it. I would also reccomend considering a year, because I have heard so many stories of semester exchange students saying that they wanted to stay longer, but no stories of any year students wishing that they'd stayed for a shorter period of time. In France and European countries especially, it is not difficult to arrange taking the SAT/ACT, and if you go during your junior year (that is what I am doing) you will not need to worry about college applications. However, I do know several seniors abroad right now who are finishing their college applications- it adds another level of stress, but it is possible. Also, I am sure that AFS will help you find a way to include dance in your life. I am also a musician and a rower, and AFS found me a family that has 3 children who row, and they live near a school that has an orchestra. AFS will do its best to help find the best family for you that they can, and you will have a liason as well for support outside the family. I wish you the best of luck and I know that you will have a great time! Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
