- 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 to make your experience successful and memorable.
