I am looking for a foreign exchange student program that will allow me to live with a host family (for just the summer). I found a couple, but they are for the school year–which im not interested in.
I want to live with a host family like in a country in england or italy (anywhere in europe)
Hi,
I agree with the other poster, if you limit yourself to just a summer program, you lose many of the benefits of being an exchange student — mainly the culture and language immersion. If you are just there for the summer, it’s more of a holiday and not an academic experience.
If you go for a whole year, or at least a semester, you will be studying in a different language — and you will truly learn it! Also, colleges and universities LOVE exchange students and often offer them preferred admissions and sometimes scholarship money. On top of that, the language you learn will benefit you in the workplace as well, with a higher salary, especially if you maintain that training through college.
All of this equals a much bigger "bang for your buck"!
As to finding a program, you can look at www.csiet.org. That site lists all the programs certified to operate in the U.S. You should also ask your high school counselor, as an organization is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive, and AFS, Aspect, 4-H and YFU are usually quality programs as well and offer scholarships.
The best time to go is your junior year. Then you can work your credits easier (your school will give you credit for some of what you do as an exchange student too, but get it in writing) and will have all the fun of your senior year and graduating with your class.
For lots of info on being an exchange student, check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ — a site written by exchange students for exchange students!
Good luck — and PLEASE consider the longer program!

How can i be a foreign exchange student for a summer? I don’t really want to be a student there just go for a summer. I want to go somewhere like england, ireland, germany, italy, places like that. ANy help?
1. First find out if any town or city in your area has a sister city agreement. If they do they often have great summer exchanges that are often very cheap comparatively.
You can find a sister city near you here: http://www.sister-cities.org/directory/index.cfm
Also, look at this: http://www.sister-cities.org/programs/homestay.cfm
2. Look at organizations such as YFU, AFS, ASSE,etc. They all have summer exchange programs.
3. If you belong to the rotary club I believe there are many exchange opportunities. Also, their is People to People but you have to receive an invite.
