Year abroad?
Hey
I'm planning on going to the USA for six months next semester. Do you have any good organizers or anything I need to know about it? So far, I haven't found anything particularly helpful other than a lot of advertising… I'd also like to know about scholarships. Where can I apply, and do I get only part of the money or all of it? My family probably won't spend 10,000 on it. Do I have to repeat a grade if I only go for six months?

Anyone who wants to go to the USA must be included in a program due to the required visa.
DAS is the main task of the organisations. This task is always taken over by the partner organizations in the USA. Also the actual care on site.
In the USA there is approx. 3! Organizations that take care of this for all German companies… is important that you feel well-resolved.
In addition, the partner organization is looking for the host family for you. A good letter to the potential Host Family is important. This is published on the Internet. Host families in the United States don’t get any money they can take you. So, screw down claims.
Therefore, it may actually be useful to apply for more than one organization.
A so-calledRegionsis also counterproductive. Because if you can invade the region, you can insure your placement opportunities uncommonly and unnecessarily, as not all over the country would be looking for a host family. There is also much more in the selected regionsPampaas asked hot spots.
The selection of regions is therefore not a guarantee that you have the better/cooler experience.
Do you really ask what is important to you?:
With G8 repeating duty is recommended with G9 an option and in my opinion. In addition, an entire school year is always recommended. It’s barely more expensive and brings the most.
