An exchange student is a student that leaves his/her country for a foreign one for a year, where she/he usually learns a new language and experiences a new culture. Nowadays, there are more than 35 international exchange programs from which very many high school students benefit. For instance, each year, almost 13000 students travel on American Field Service Intercultural Programs between 65 countries (AFS, 2011). Unfortunately, the number of students who go on exchange is still relatively low,
wanted to host an exchange student for a couple of reasons. First, we were at the point in our lives where our careers were moving along and the money wasn't tight. We felt providing the room and board would not put any financial strain on us. Second, it would be a lot of fun to give someone an adventure. Anna came to us as our 3rd exchange student. Anna was a 16-year old FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange Program) student and came to us from Kiev, Ukraine. Anna was one of three students who came to
The initial issue was that exchange students are unable to communicate with professors and classmates in a classroom environment. Exchange students are foreign students from other country that are attending an academy at a different country. Imagine yourself in an exchange student’s shoes.

that thought out of my head because of the exchange student program. The program allows students from all over the world to spend a year in America and experience our culture. Meeting these students year after year, I never really thought other cultures were extremely different. Most of the students played the same sports we did, wore the same brand of clothes and had the same phones as us. The only major difference I found after speaking to these students was that our school system was different.
Before I come to the United State as an exchange student, I lived in Thailand. I was also born in Thailand. I was always wanted to get the experiences in other country. I am so lucky that my parents are supporting me. Some of my friends, they are also want to study abroad but their parents did not agree with. I could not be here if my parents did not support me and give me suggestions. I came to U.S. in the senior year but my school put me in junior because they could not let me graduate if I will

Sometime in April or maybe earlier than that I made the conscious decision to take part in the Student Exchange program my university (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) offered, I always wanted to go on exchange and was inspired by a friend of mine Toyin Oyatogun who seemed to have had a great time from her study abroad. I started the process which I must say was extremely tasking and stressful. I had very limited options mainly because of my program (communications), I had to choose
believe I’m a very lucky person. As soon as I finished my 11th grade in my home country, Vietnam, my parent have given me an opportunity to study abroad in America and that was probably one of the best thing happened in my life. I was started as an exchange student and chosen to study in Florida, the state of sunshine, due to a generous American host family adopted me as their host-son. The moment I started my study journey in America, I immediately fascinated by how the education system works in US. Everything
