Rules for an Exchange Student

As an exchange student in a new country you will have to adjust to a whole new and different things like culture and rules. It is often the last that is the hardest, to learn to live and accept the new rules that your host family is setting up. USA is a country built on these, there are exactly everywhere in the US, and they will affect you on a everyday basis.

E.g on your High School, there are many rules that you never could have imagined in your own country, in some cases you maybe have to wear a school uniform, in other places, it can be a dresscode, you´ll have to dress according to a set of rules. Maybe the town your in have a curfew for anyone under 18.

As an exchange student, you will right away meet these rules. Some of them will make you frighten first time you´ll see them.

What to read next:

Culture shock

Culture shock is very common amongst exchange students. You need to be aware that some things are going to be really different from what you are used to in your home country. You will need to accept this.

Host family

Most host families do it because they are interested in learning about other countries and cultures. Be prepared to share yours!

On your way

It’s usually at the airport when it it hits you. “I’m going to be away for a whole year!” It might be scary at first.
