What is a good exchange program for high school students
What is a good exchange program for high school students?
I'm looking to participate in an exchange program for high school students. I want to go to Italy or somewhere that speaks Spanish (I know Italy is not a Spanish speaking country.) I'm a freshman in high school and right now i'm 14. I will be turning 15 in June. I want to go over the summer too for about 2-3 weeks. I've been looking for a while and I haven't really found anything interesting..Please let me know. Thanks.

Since you mentioned on your question you want to go somewhere they speak Spanish, and that you only want a short term stay, I would like to share with you my experience, that meets both your requirements, and how to find out more about this incredibly amazing program. I participated in a fabulous program, called HomeStay Spain in SPAIN. After speaking with other kids in the group who had participated in other exchange programs abroad we decided this was the best! If you are interested in a lifestyle immersion experience and willing to learn about Spanish Culture and Lifestyle, this is the most amazing program available. The beautiful and safe town of Santander is known for its cultural refinement, and an atmosphere typical of old Spain. It is so much fun!!! And we learned so much!!!! It was so enriching. I LOVED IT!!! Both my sister and I participated different summers and we had a blast! We made so many good friends we still keep in touch with! The program is really well planned out and people are lovely! Many host families have teens. They even allow you to come with a friend to stay in same host family home or in a different home. And if you sign up early they allow you to choose from the available host families for a perfect fit. Check their website www.beautifulspain.com Before deciding among different programs I had a chance to speak with some contacts that had participated in this program and my parents did as well. Everyone spoke wonders about this program, the host families and the local director Nuria, who is such a nice lady,... She is usually in Florida at this time of the year, so that means that you may be able to talk to her on the phone once you contact them through their web site. This program is considered the most complete exposure to a foreign country because as they say it is true that it combines CLASSES (art, debate, street talk, folklore, DANCING classes, among others) with FUN and EXCITING ACTIVITIES such as Latin Dance Classes, Bullfight, Boat Excursion, etc…, FULL DAY OUTINGS to places of historical and cultural interest such as prehistoric Altamira Caves, Guggenheim Museum, Roman Ruins, "Capricho de Gaudi", Roman Route Hiking adventure, etc... are also ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE while living with a local, loving and carefully selected HOST FAMILY. I know this program allows you to choose from several host families (the type of things this program does, no other program would ever) in order for everyone to be happy.

How can I find a host family in Italy
How can I find a host family in Italy?
I want to find a host family from September 12, 2008 to November 29, 2008 in Bologna, Italy. Many language schools offer this as an added service, but I want to arrange my stay independently. As a 23 year old native English speaker, I have a lot to offer a potential host family. However, I have not found any websites on which Italian families post "exchange student WANTED" ads. Thank you.

Generally, you go with the families who are signed up with the program. That's how the connections are made, not through anonymous ads. Just think about it. Single, 21 - 23 year old woman, trusting, looking for a place to live. Single, 70 year old man puts an ad in the paper saying he's a family, she shows up on his doorstep...just a hypothetical situation, but, far too easy to abuse that way. With a program, there are (you hope) trustworthy people to set things up, make sure you are happy and comfortable, not being abused in any way (okay, doesn't have to be that ominous, the family might expect you to take care of their children for free, leaving you with no time to have fun or travel, etc.) make sure you have the things you need, and all. They screen the families, and you know what you are getting yourself into. Families are not allowed to take advantage of you, etc. I don't think you're going to find a trustworthy family in the newspaper or on line.

I have never been fortunate enough as yet to travel to Italy, though I have lived in three countries in my lifetime. I have a friend in Finland that travels often and he has said many things positive about Italy. I have only seen the country in documentaries and such, and it really does look such a glorious place, full of atmosphere and history. What an opportunity you have. Live the experience to the full. I have met quite a few Italians. You'll love the people, I'm sure, and the food is fantastic. I wish I were going with you.
