Please if you have any information about this, please answer.How do i become a foreign exchange student?Wow! A lot of questions. My answer applies to high school students, not university studentts.
OK, first, most programs will ask for top three country choices, few to none will guarantee a particular city. I actually would recommend you NOT studying in England however. Not that I have anything against England, it's just that one of the biggest benefits of an exchange is the language immersion.
Having said that, the next thing to do is find a program. There are hundreds of them and many are not particularly good. Make sure any program you look at is CSIET listed (www.csiet.org). That will give it at least SOME oversight. However, that's still over 100.
Talk to your school counselor for a recommendation. Chances are they've worked with exchange students in your school. The premier programs are AFS, YFU and Rotary. Any of those will do well by you.

It's an online forum for exchange students and also an information center.
Good luck!How do i become a foreign exchange student?Make sure to check out a few programs. The CSIET is a good place to start, and while my husband liked YFU, we weren't real excited with AFS. We got a student through them without being checked first only because we had a student with us at that time, and the girls were friends. Just do your checks.
