How wonderful that you are considering studying abroad and that your parents are supportive of it! Unless you go on a private arrangement, you will generally need to be between 15 and 18yrs old -- 12 is too young. Also, I have checked a few programs that go to France and they require incoming exchange students to have studied French for 2 years. The safest way to go on exchange is with an organization. Check with your school here in the USA to see if they have a relationship built up with any particular organization. If you are free to choose any organization you like, I strongly recommend making use of the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org) list. CSEIT routinely audits 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. If I may, I would like suggest checking out Youth For Understanding (YFU). YFU, AFS, and Rotary are frequently called "the big 3" when it comes to exchanges - long histories and good reputations, although a few others are making their way up that list. Please forgive my bias towards YFU - it's the one that I have direct experience with (I am a 6-time host mom and volunteer (unpaid - unless you call getting a couple of Tshirts and a giftcard to Starbucks being paid)). I am gaining indirect experience by corresponding with former students. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU and /or (3) they felt like they could trust YFU more. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 60 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful. I've put some links below for more information. Good luck to you no matter what you choose!

At your age, there are very few, if any, study abroad programs. You have 2 options: wait until you're older, or do what I did; go to an international boarding school for a year! Here are some sites to get you started. The first is one of a study abroad organization, and the second is a site that will help you find an international boarding school that will suit your purposes. Good luck! http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home http://www.boarding-school-finder.com/en/articles/about-boarding-schools/international-boarding-schools

I came very close to foreign exchange in france. I chickened out at the last minute. I have regretted it ever since. Please don't make my mistake.

hi..i'm looking for a girl that want to become an exchange student..i'd like to go in New York...but i'm from Italy..not from France!:-) aren't you interested? sorry for my english!!

Hi there. I have no idea how old you are, but let's say you're under 18 and still in high school. AFS has summer exchange programs. They don't 'show' you families, you apply, they see if you are fit for an exchange and FIND you a host family in the country of your choice. There's other programs that do the same, but I'm a little biased since I'm going through AFS. Anyway, If you are over 18, Couch Surfing might be your thing. But it'll be more of a landlord thing, rather than a family, because you won't be as involved in everyday activities, since you'll just be a person living in their house.

Can I enter France on a student visa overland and not by air?
Can I enter France on a student visa overland and not by air?
I'm going on a 6 month university exchange to France this year, but I plan to do a bit of travelling around Europe before the semester begins. Therefore I would be entering France overland rather than through an aeroport (ie I'd first fly from Sydney into London, join a coach tour there which takes me around Europe and ends in France). Just wondering if anyone knows whether it's ok to enter France on a student visa over land and not through aeroport customs. I've heard that they don't really check your passport when you cross land borders, so how would they check my visa, stamp my passport etc? Thanks

Fear not, it is absolutely fine for you to travel into France that way. If you cross the border from Britain to France your passport almost certainly will be checked by someone. But you wont get nothing like the kind of hassle you get in the states. If you travel into France from mainland Europe ( Germany Luxembourg Belgium or Spain) You may not be even stopped at the border but you still must carry your passport and visa just in case they want to stamp it. Even when your passport is inspected in Europe it isnt necessarily stamped. Don't panic and have a great time
