As an exchange student you will spend most of the time in school. It is very important for you to create as much positive influences in school as possible. On your first day of school you will meet the schools student-counselor. It is then you will choose what subjects you going to attend for the year.

There are usually some obligated classes to take if you want to graduate. In USA it is English, American History and American Government. Except the obligated classes you can chose whatever you want to. This is really the perfect time to choose classes you don’t have in your country. Exchangestudentworld.com recommends people to take “speech” if you come to USA. It is a great class where you learn how to talk in front of people without being scared.

The schools in many countries have a great school-culture. There people are usually very proud of their school and it is very important to cheer for their school teams in sports.
How likely is it for me to get placed in a big city in Italy with AFS…also any fundraising ideas?
Does anyone know any good foreign exchange student programs in Seoul, South Korea ?
Hi, I’m going to be an exchange student in America next year(I’m Norwegian) and I was just wondering how many classes it’s possible to take? Not counting the obligated classes, that is.
what if you have a diffrent education system from the country of your dream
Vivian I am from Wisconsin and in our high school we have four classes a day but we pick i think we picked classes that equal 4 credits because they picked 4 for us already but it might be different were you are going in the U.S
Shanna: So you have 8 classes? My organisation have given me a hostfamily in Maryville, Tennessee. Do you have different classes every day, or the same schedule through out the week? You don’t have to answer all of them, I’m just really curious. ;P
hehe
i’m really interested in going to japan, i really love their culture, and i especially love thei manga and anime ![]()
vivian:
i just reacently moved to a different school, 30 minutes from where i used to live, and the school schedule is really different from what i was used to. i think you’re probably going to have block scheduling, which means you’ll have 4 classes each day, with equal time periods. for example, i used to have:
A days:
Chorus
Spanish for fluent speakers
Algebra
and finally, Civics.
And on B Days:
Resource ( a class where you can do make up work, your homework, or get extra help, etc…)
Physical edu.
Language Arts
and then, Physical science ![]()
thats probably how your scheduling will be :D
~hope i could help~!

I am from the USA and would like to go to Cardiff, United Kingdom.
People tell me that schools are much more difficult, and sometimes more advanced, learning more difficut things that I am used to. Is this true?
Catherine: Yeah, I would believe so. School in America is said to be much easier then the Norwegian school, and I think the Norwegian and British school-system is pretty much the same. Most exchange students from Norway get mainly A’s and B’s in America. ;P
I’m travelling through STS Education. They co-operate with AYUSA in America.
oh cool, well im going to USA in august but im going through YFU
when do you leave?
I leave 24.July, from London. Going to stay there a couple of days before going to Chicago and then Knoxville, TN. How about you? And do you know where in the US you are going to live?
i am wanting to go to japan as an exchange student but i am only 13 does anyone know of any programs i could use?
pippa,, you most likely wont be able to go for a couple more years yet but look into some programs for when you can go and start saving money. just google ‘student exchange programs’ and it will come up with some organisations like YFU or rotary etc
Vivian: that’s funny because I’m an American trying to go to Norway with the same question!
