should i get a boy or girl foreign exchange student?
So my family has decided to host a student from France this summer for three weeks. We can't decide between a 17 yr old boy or a 15 yr old girl. I am 17 and the oldest of four girls in my family. I don't have any brothers, so that is one reason we would like a boy. But we think the boy would go crazy in a house full of girls and a girl could adapt easier. Boy..girl..boy..girl. Which?

I would recommend the girl. The girl would adapt easier like you said, and she might not be as uncomfortable as the boy. However, the boy might be comfortable with girls. I don't think Europeans think like Americans do. It might also push him to go meet other people as he will find comfort in other (boys). So, actually, if you prefer, it might be good to go with the boy. =) You can argue for both. But a boy would be interesting to have around the house, and he would eventually get comfortable with all of you ^_^ So I say go for the boy!

A girl will get along better with your family, while a boy will feel out-of-place. Since it's only a short summer stay, he's not going to have the chance to meet as many boys his own age like he would if it was during the school year. If he ever has a problem he won't feel as comfortable coming to anyone in your family about it because the people around his age are all female and the only guy he knows is the same age as his father. A boy will also want to do activities that you and your sisters probably would not enjoy as much. Since it's only a short stay, you can't think of this guy as a stand-in brother because three weeks really isn't long enough for him to adjust and start to feel like family. He's going to stay as a guest in your house, as it takes longer for close bonds to happen, especially between the opposite sexes.
