Yes!! You'll have a blast and its educational too. I haven't regarded any of my international trips experiences and the friends I made along the way have stayed with me to this day. You should go, can't go wrong with Italy and Greece...and it will be an experience you'll never forget. :)

My boyfriend went two summers ago. I'm fully Greek but I've never been to Greece so I was so mad that he got to go before me. He really enjoyed himself. He made lasting friendships with the people he traveled with and I know he said it was an experience he'll never forget. He still brings stuff up about the trip. It seemed like it was really worth it and he enjoyed it a lot although he got home sick but its understandable. Its a long time to be away from home. He said his family was really nice. The only thing he didn't enjoy was the journals you have to right it. You'll have fun. =]

Check with EF Foundation, call 180044Share, I am a local exchange coordinator in Florida, I currently host a 15 year old girl. I dont know what the age limit is, I do know you must be in high school. I also know you must have had a certain number of classes in the language in the country you are looking to do your exchange in. Good Luck... If you arent eligible right now, you certainly have a little bit to take those foreign language classes and get the language knowledge before you go. Also they start enrolling students about a year in advance before leaving due to the processing of the paperwork, visa's etc.

Generally you need to be at least a sophomore in high school, and 15 years old by the date of departure. I haven't seen any exchange programs that take 14 year olds, definitely none where you could go to UK, Italy, or Spain. The age range is usually 15-18 yrs old. I think the best/largest exchange program is AFS (that is who I went through), I am not sure they have UK exchange but they do have italy and spain. There are lots of other programs though, I just dont know much about them sorry:) http://www.usa.afs.org/usa_en/home Try googling 'exchange student' and country name, maybe you will find a program that accepts 14 year olds. If you can't go now then just wait, take a language class and go in a few years- it is a great experience:)

In the United States, to be a traditional exchange student, you must be at least 15 years old by the time your program starts -- you can apply at 14. You should really go during your junior year of high school. That will give you some maturity and also allow you to arrange your schedules so that you graduate on time (you may have to take some summer classes or correspondence classes). I would suggest either Spain or Italy. If you go to the UK, you will lose one of the primary benefits of a student exchange -- language immersion. The three premier organizations (meaning the ones you SHOULD use) with the best reputations are YFU, AFS and Rotary. I've listed the web sites below (or your counselor might have some info). Language training may or may not be necessary for the country in which you'd like to study. I know it is for all French speaking countries, but not for Germany and Japan. Check with the program representative to be sure. I've also given you an on-line information center and forum site. http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home http://www.yfu.org/ http://www.rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/youthprograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/

If you are part of the program you already know what it will cost. If you just opened your mail one day and found the letter, right out of the blue, it's a scam. Look up their website, find their legitimate contact info and contact them directly to find out if it's real or not but I bet you its a scam letter sent by someone trying to capitalize on their name.
2 :
My sister got this to Australia, it was soooooooooooooooooo fun--you should bring around $100 to $1,000 dollars. or more. Luggage and stuff, meals, and gifts, plus overnight stays will cost from $500 to $600, plus gifts, handling, and texting and calls home will cost much. Its best if you don't call home much because it makes you much sicker. They don't let you text much, and it costs a lot hoope this helped!!!!!

Is it expensive to call a plumber at home in Italy?
Is it expensive to call a plumber at home in Italy?
Is it expensive to call a plumber at home in Italy? I really need some professional help from a plumber, and I"m an exchange student in Florence, Italy. Does anybody know how much would it cost to call him at home to fix my toilet tank (float valve)? tnx a lot

Calling a plumber is expensive anywhere you live. With the current cost of living in Italy, I think you'll find that it's even more expensive than you think. The good news is that it's not hard to fix yourself, just google it: For example: http://www.ehow.com/how_2216692_repair-toilet-fill-valve.html or: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/h2repairtoilet or: http://www.water.denver.co.gov/cons_xeriscape/conservation/leakytoilet.html and many more... If you really can't do it, remember that you are in Italy; the land of craftsmen and artisans and of friends and personnal contacts. Just ask around your Italian friends and acquaintances. Guaranteed that one or more will have a friend, or cousin, or uncle, or friend of a friend of a cousin's uncle who can fix this for you for cheap and will then become a new entry in your personnal list of contacts. Try it, you'll see. It's fascinating to see this system of contacts at work.
