I'm afraid to be a foreign exchange student in France?
I might be going to France for a semester next year, and I'm afraid of a bunch of things. I want to go to college for French. *First, I don't want to do academically bad, although I will most likely be majoring in French in college. My junior year is a really important year with all the testing and such. *I worry about away from my family for too long. Will we ever connect like we used to, or will the time apart make it awkward to be together again? *What if I don't make friends? Will I lose touch with my old friends? *Most importantly, I'm afraid of everything I will be missing back in America, all the fun and memorable experiences I won't be here for. I don't really know if I should be scared of any of these things. Are there any previous exchange students who can help me out?

Hi there, you shouldn't get so worked up over spending a few months abroad, it's not like you have to move there forever and you'll never see your relatives again. However If you're still afraid that you'll miss America and your family then maybe you're just not ready for that experience. You should probably wait for another one or two years before you consider going there again. Foreign exchange are only profitable if you're eager to discover another country's culture and language, and can quickly turn into a disaster if the student doesn't have the required motivation to study abroad. Take the time to think this over and don't rush into making any decision that you might regret later.
