Hello people 🙂 I applied for a year abroad in the USA in 2019 (I was 17 at the time, by the way). I'd been waiting for this year for three years, and the whole process was already in motion. I'd already had my placement, meaning I'd been assigned a host family and a high…
Heyy So I really want to spend a year abroad in the USA and am currently looking for a good organization that I know will help me if, for example, I don't get along with my host family or don't have any friends at school. It would be really nice if you could recommend some…
Hello! I'm currently spending the last three months of my year abroad, and I'll even see my family again in two months, because they're coming to visit me. I'm doing really well, and I don't feel homesick. Of course, I miss my friends and family, but that doesn't bother me too much. My “problem” is…
Hey! I'm currently in high school and considering doing an exchange year in 12th grade. My question is, is it possible to get my high school diploma in the US and then have it converted into an Abitur in Germany? However, I go to school in Thuringia, if that matters.

(I'm probably going to Canada)…
Hey, I'm 16/f and have been thinking about an exchange year for a long time, but I never felt really "ready" because I've always been more of a "quiet mouse"… A lot has happened to me in the last few months in terms of my character and my development. I was always quite mature and…
The question is above. A little info: The flight is from Germany to Australia and takes 24 hours. I won't be flying alone, but with a group of 20 people.
For my high school exchange year, I have to answer this question: “What family values, traditions, holiday celebrations, or parts of your daily life do you want to share with your future host family?” I don’t really understand it, so I need some help.
Hey, I want to spend a year abroad in the USA in 2023/24. I have to apply online through a website. I have to provide the name and phone number of the "administrator" – but I have a question: does that mean the secretary or the principal? The number is fine, because the secretary and…
