The Exchange Student Guidebook - Everything You'll Need to Spend a Successful High School Year Abroad (Hardcover)

As an exchange student, you receive the opportunity to venture into another culture and see it through your own eyes. By living with a host family and attending a secondary school, you become part of the local community, you learn the language, and you experience a new culture from the inside out. Even so, an exchange year is not one long holiday. It can be tough, and it may take time to adjust to the new culture and find new friends. In The Exchange Student Guidebook, author Olav Schewe presents a practical handbook to prepare you for life as an exchange student and help you tackle common challenges. It provides useful advice regardless of your destination country, but also contains a special section for students destined for the United States. In plain English and from a student's perspective, it gives you the information you need to make your experience successful and memorable. Schewe considers understanding the basics of student exchange; evaluating reasons for going; choosing a destination country and exchange organization; living in a foreign culture; staying with a host family; finding new friends; and dealing with homesickness and other challenges. Filled with practical advice and tips, The Exchange Student Guidebook provides you with a foundation for enjoying a year abroad.
