The Student Exchange Program is nowadays a great option for young students in high school who’d like to learn or improve another language and experience another culture. The original goal was an exchange of students between different countries, but no trade off is actually required, so a student is allowed to go to another country without finding a counterpart in that country to exchange with. The students live in a host family, and go to a normal school, places where they can practise their English, since they’re living with natives. The Exchange Program normally lasts from 6 months to a year, a short period of time, but long enough so the students can have an idea of what life in another country is like.
When we choose to live in another country, we have to be sure that this is what we want and we know that we’re gonna be through a lot of changes.
If you’re thinking about going on an Exchange Program, you should analyze all the options and one that suits your objectives and money situation.

Who knows about it ...
“The Program was very important for me. It provided me the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world, to be familiar with different habits, make new friends, and at the same time gave the chance to have an athletic scholarship in a well-known university there. Now I can conciliate my studding with my football career.”
Mateus Silva, 18, went to the States on an Exchange Program
