You Should Receive Information before You Depart. Every exchange organization should provide students with certain basic information before departure. All students should have the name, address, and telephone number of their host families at least one week before they depart from their home countries. Most organizations provide much more information. Frequently, exchange students are able to write to their host families before they leave home, which means receiving the name and address at least three weeks before departure. 2. You Should Be Met upon Arrival. Except in very unusual circumstances, every exchange student should be met upon arrival by either the host family or by a representative of the exchange organization, or both. Before arriving in the host community, you may have to change planes once in the host country or switch from the airport to a train or bus. In any case, you should be met at the airport, train station, or bus terminal at your final destination. 3. You Should Be Given a Telephone Number for Emergencies. The exchange program should provide you with a way of contacting your hosts if something goes wrong. Most emergencies are not very serious, but when everything is strange and new that is little consolation. You should also have a contact and/or a phone number for someone other than your host family, preferably a representative of the exchange organization. 4. You Should Have Your Own Bed and a Study Area. While brothers or sisters might share a bed in many countries, an exchange student should not have to do so, even with a host sibling of the same sex and age. The bed you are assigned, however, might not be the kind you are used to. Depending on the host culture, your bed might be a futon that you roll up each morning and put away or a bed that folds into a sofa by day. Your host family will try to do their best to make you comfortable whether they live in a large house or a tiny apartment, but you must be ready to adapt.]]> http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/what-you-should-expect-from-an-exchange-program/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/if-you-host-a-foreign-exchange-student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/if-you-host-a-foreign-exchange-student#comments Thu, 13 Jan 2011 12:41:59 +0000 exchange_student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=81 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/if-you-host-a-foreign-exchange-student/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/foreign-exchange-student-programs-requirements-and-preparations http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/foreign-exchange-student-programs-requirements-and-preparations#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:29:24 +0000 exchange_student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=78 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/foreign-exchange-student-programs-requirements-and-preparations/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/types-of-foreign-exchange-programs http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/types-of-foreign-exchange-programs#comments Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:21:42 +0000 exchange_student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=76 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/types-of-foreign-exchange-programs/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/how-to-prepare-your-home-for-a-foreign-exchange-student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/how-to-prepare-your-home-for-a-foreign-exchange-student#comments Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:04:26 +0000 exchange_student http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=74 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/how-to-prepare-your-home-for-a-foreign-exchange-student/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/what-are-some-good-foreign-exchange-student-programs-for-high-school-students http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/what-are-some-good-foreign-exchange-student-programs-for-high-school-students#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 08:21:59 +0000 admin http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=65 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/what-are-some-good-foreign-exchange-student-programs-for-high-school-students/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/top-100-universities-and-colleges-in-united-states-and-canada http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/top-100-universities-and-colleges-in-united-states-and-canada#comments Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:13:13 +0000 admin http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=60 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/top-100-universities-and-colleges-in-united-states-and-canada/feed 0 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/list-of-top-colleges-and-universities-in-korea-by-university-ranking http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/list-of-top-colleges-and-universities-in-korea-by-university-ranking#comments Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:59:35 +0000 admin http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=57 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/list-of-top-colleges-and-universities-in-korea-by-university-ranking/feed 1 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/us-culture-guide-for-exchange-students http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/us-culture-guide-for-exchange-students#comments Sat, 29 May 2010 17:02:06 +0000 admin http://foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/?p=46 http://www.foreignexchangestudentprograms.net/us-culture-guide-for-exchange-students/feed 0
